AB  - To discuss the maternal-fetal transfer of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 
      viviparous fish, the whole-body burdens of POPs were determined in gravid 
      surfperches from Otsuchi Bay, Japan, and in their fetuses. The concentrations 
      were 2.75-15.5 times higher in the maternal tissue. To compare the 
      characteristics of the maternal-fetal transfer between species with different 
      gestation systems, reports on the striped dolphin and long-finned pilot whales 
      were studied. The transfer rates of POPs in surfperches were 0.6-6.0%, while in 
      marine mammals they were 3.0-9.4%. The difference in transfer rates may derive 
      from the difference in their reproductive systems. On the other hand, as in 
      marine mammals, selective transfer of POPs was seen in surfperches. The transfer 
      rates were higher in less hydrophobic compounds such as dieldrin, and lower in 
      more hydrophobic compounds such as DDTs. A new transfer factor is also discussed 
      which instantly indicates the difference in the concentrations between mother and 
      fetus.
