Abstract The uptake patterns and toxicity of poly chlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in the white sea urchin, Lytechinus pictus , on exposure to contaminated sediments were investigated. First‐order modeling of uptake of the 10 most abundant PCB congeners or domains (containing more than one coelu...
