Bringolf, R. B., Heltsley, R. M., Newton, T. J., Eads, C. B., Fraley, S. J., Shea, D., & Cope, W. G. (2010, February 24). Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Vol. 29, pp. 1311–1318.

author keywords: Unionidae; Pharmaceutical; Glochidia; Behavior; Prozac
MeSH headings : Animals; Bivalvia / drug effects; Bivalvia / growth & development; Female; Fluoxetine / analysis; Fluoxetine / pharmacokinetics; Fluoxetine / toxicity; Male; Reproduction / drug effects; Tissue Distribution; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / pharmacokinetics; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
topics (OpenAlex): Pharmaceutical and Antibiotic Environmental Impacts; Water Quality and Resources Studies; Effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals
TL;DR: The results suggest that fluoxetine accumulates in mussel tissue and has the potential to disrupt several aspects of reproduction in freshwater mussels, a faunal group recognized as one of the most imperiled in the world. (via Semantic Scholar)

Assessing Organic Contaminants in Fish:  Comparison of a Nonlethal Tissue Sampling Technique to Mobile and Stationary Passive Sampling Devices

Heltsley, R. M., Cope, W. G., Shea, D., Bringolf, R. B., Kwak, T. J., & Malindzak, E. G. (2005, August 26). Environmental Science & Technology, Vol. 39, pp. 7601–7608.

MeSH headings : Adipose Tissue / chemistry; Animals; Body Burden; Catfishes / metabolism; Environmental Monitoring / instrumentation; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Environmental Monitoring / statistics & numerical data; Muscle, Skeletal / chemistry; North Carolina; Pesticides / analysis; Polychlorinated Biphenyls / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis
topics (OpenAlex): Toxic Organic Pollutants Impact; Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology; Effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals
TL;DR: Investigation of two novel methods for estimating organic contaminants in fish demonstrated for the first time that organic contaminant concentrations in adipose fin were highly correlated with muscle fillet concentrations, indicating that the adipose fins of certain fishes may be used to accurately estimate tissue concentrations without the need for lethal sampling.
