An Allometric Model for Pesticide Bioaccumulation

摘要: A combination of the frequency distribution body sizes and appropriate allometric relationships may permit a more operational approach to pesticide bioaccun~ulation than traditional trophic level concept. To demonstrate this potential, we clescribe pattcrns bioaccumulation as functions time size in computer ecosystem which no differences exist. The qualitative similarity between thcsc patterns those reported literature frorn laboratory field experin-nents suggests that empirical relations describing contaminant tluxes weight could form powerful base for prediction burden natural systems. We believe prove useful any persistent with high biological affinity. Key MJOI.~J.: mcadeling, bioaccumulation, ecological magnification, allometry, GRIESB~C~H, S., R. H. PETERS, AND S.
