AB  - The trophic magnification of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which is the 
      relationship between POP concentration and the trophic position (TPs) of an 
      organism, is considered an important factor for prioritizing chemicals of concern 
      in the environment. Organismal TPs are typically based on nitrogen isotope ratios 
      of bulk tissue (delta(15)N(bulk)). In this study, nitrogen isotope ratios of amino 
      acids (delta(15)N(AAs)), a more precise approach for TP estimation (TP(AAs)), was 
      applied and compared with estimations of TP based on delta(15)N(bulk) (TP(bulk)) in 
      marine organisms living in Masan Bay, South Korea. Compound-specific isotope 
      analysis of the amino acids (CSIA-AAs) in fish samples allows us to calculate 
      robust TPs by correcting the variation in baseline isotope values with use of the 
      delta(15)N(bulk) technique. In a benthic food chain, this approach reveals more 
      significant magnification trends for POPs [polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 
      polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs)] 
      than those revealed by analysis of the relationship between TP(bulk) and POPs. 
      The trophic magnification factors (TMF) associated with TP(AAs) were significant 
      for some POPs, especially pp'-DDD and chlordane. The results presented in this 
      study suggest that TP calculations based on delta(15)N(AAs) are an effective tool for 
      characterizing trophic magnification trends related to the fates of various 
      pollutants.
