AB  - Over the past few decades, there has been considerable interest in hydrophobic 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and their accumulative properties in aquatic 
      organisms. Several factors, such as environmental concentrations (i.e. in 
      sediment) and physiological characteristics of organisms determine 
      species-specific accumulation patterns of POPs in marine animal tissue. The 
      present study investigated factors that govern species-specific accumulation 
      patterns of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and 
      dioxin-like biphenyls (dl-PCBs) in a food web from Sydney Estuary (Australia). 
      The results indicated that physiological characteristics, i.e. lipid %, spatial, 
      i.e. distance from Homebush Bay (point source of POPs) and life history 
      characteristics of the organisms, such as diet and home range, influence PCDD/F 
      and dl-PCB tissue concentrations to a varying degree. For example, PCDD/F tissue 
      concentrations increased with the presence of detritivorous diet, species with 
      limited home range and close proximity to Homebush Bay. On the other hand, lipid 
      %, piscivorous diet and close proximity to Homebush Bay were the main predictors 
      causing increases in dl-PCB tissue levels. Distance from Homebush Bay was the 
      only predictor affecting both PCDD/F and dl-PCB tissue levels at a similar rate, 
      i.e. decreasing tissue concentrations as the distance increases from Homebush 
      Bay.
