AB  - Persistent organic pollutant bioaccumulation models have generally been 
      formulated to predict bioconcentration and biomagnification. A third 
      bioaccumulation process that can mediate chemical fugacity in an organism is 
      bioamplification.Bioamplification occurs when an organism loses body weight and 
      the chemical partitioning capacity occurs at a rate that is faster than the 
      chemical can be eliminated.Although bioamplification has not been widely 
      recognized as a bioaccumulation process, the potential consequences of this 
      process are significant. Bioamplification causes an increase in chemical fugacity 
      in the animal's tissues and results in there distribution of contaminants from 
      inert storage sites to more toxicologically sensitive tissues. By reviewing 
      laboratory and field studies, we have shown in this paper that bioamplification 
      occurs across taxonomic groups that include, invertebrates,amphibians, fishes, 
      birds, and mammals. Two case studies are presented, and constitute multi-life 
      stage non-steady state bioaccumulation models calibrated for yellow perch and 
      herring gulls. These case studies were used to demonstrate that bioamplification 
      is predicted to occur under realistic scenarios of animal growth and seasonal 
      weight loss. Bioamplification greatly enhances POP concentrations and chemical 
      fugacities during critical physiological and behavioral events in an animal's 
      life history, e.g., embryo development, juvenile stages, metamorphosis, 
      reproduction, migration, overwintering, hibernation, and disease. 
      Consequently,understanding the dynamics of bioamplification, and how different 
      life history scenario scan alter tissue residues, may be helpful and important in 
      assessing wildlife hazards and risks.
