TI  - Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in a small, herbivorous, arctic marine 
      zooplankton (Calanus hyperboreus): trends from April to July and the influence of 
      lipids and trophic transfer.
PG  - 93-101
AB  - Samples of Calanus hyperboreus, a herbivorous copepod, were collected (n = 20) 
      between April and July 1998, and water samples (n = 6) were collected in May 
      1998, in the Northwater Polynya (NOW) to examine persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs) in a high Arctic marine zooplankton. Lipid content (dry weight) doubled, 
      water content (r2 = 0.88) and delta15N (r2 = 0.54) significantly decreased, and 
      delta13C significantly increased (r2 = 0.30) in the C. hyperboreus over the 
      collection period allowing an examination of the role of these variables in POP 
      dynamics in this small pelagic zooplankton. The rank and concentrations of POP 
      groups in C. hyperboreus over the entire sampling was sum of PCB (30.1 +/- 4.03 
      ng/g, dry weight) > sum of HCH (11.8 +/- 3.23) > sum of DDT (4.74 +/- 0.74), sum 
      of CHLOR (4.44 +/- 1.0) > sum of CIBz (2.42 +/- 0.18), although these rankings 
      varied considerably over the summer. The alpha- and gamma-HCH and lower 
      chlorinated PCB congeners were the most common POPs in C. hyperboreus. The 
      relationship between bioconcentration factor (BCF) and octanol-water partition 
      coefficient (Kow) observed for the C. hyperboreus was linear and near 1:1 (slope 
      = 0.72) for POPs with a log Kow between 3 and 6 but curvilinear when hydrophobic 
      POPs (log Kow > 6) were included. Concentrations of sum of HCH. Sum of CHLOR and 
      sum of CIBz increased over the sampling period, but no change in sum of PCB or 
      sum of DDT was observed. After removing the effects of time, the variables lipid 
      content, water content, delta15N and delta13C did not describe POP concentrations 
      in C. hyperboreus. These results suggest that hydrophobic POP (log Kow = 3.86.0) 
      concentrations in zooplankton are likely to reflect water concentrations and that 
      POPs do not biomagnify in C. hyperboreus or likely in other small, herbivorous 
      zooplankton.
