By: R. Bringolf*, R. Heltsley*, T. Newton *, C. Eads n, S. Fraley*, D. Shea n , W. Cope  n

Contributors: R. Bringolf*, R. Heltsley*, T. Newton *, C. Eads n, S. Fraley*, D. Shea n , W. Cope n 

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
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

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 39(19), 7601–7608.

By: R. Heltsley n, W. Cope* , D. Shea* , R. Bringolf*, T. Kwak*  & E. Malindzak*

Contributors: R. Heltsley n, W. Cope* , D. Shea* , R. Bringolf*, T. Kwak*  & E. Malindzak*

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
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.
