In order to quantify the accumulation and elimination of 14C-residues in the edible and non-edible tissue of bluegill, five fish were collected from the treatment aquarium, eviscerated and filleted on days 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28 and 35 of exposure and days 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 of depuration. Five control fish were removed, eviscerated and filleted on day 28 of exposure and day 14 of depuration to quantify background levels of 14C-residues in fish tissue.

- BASIS FOR CALCULATION OF BCF
- Dividing the mean measured equilibrium 14C-tissue concentration for each tissue type by the mean measured water concentration for the entire exposure period.
- Alternatively, by utilising the ratio of the uptake constant to the depuration constant as follows:
The depuration constant (Kd) was obtained by linear regression of log tissue concentration vs. depuration time during the depuration period. The uptake constant (Ku) was obtained using the following equation:
Ku = ((dC/dt + KdC) / Cw)
where:
Kd = depuration constant (per day)
C = tissue concentration at time t (mg/kg)
Cw = water concentration at time t (mg/L)
dC/dt = slope of the tangent to the uptake curve at time t (mg/kg per day)
BCF = Ku/Kd - Key result

- Analysis of tissues in the depuration phase indicated that there was a continuous elimination from the bodies of the test animals with the DT50 for depuration estimated to be between 3 and 7 days. By day 14, 82, 91 and 89 % depuration was recorded for edible tissue, non-edible tissue and on a whole body basis, respectively.
Of the accumulated 14C residue, 51 % was found to be extractable and 46 % non-extractable. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the test, the whole body BCF of propargite in bluegill sunfish was calculated to be 775 (250 in edible tissues and 1550 in non-edible tissues). Following removal to clean water, the DT50 for depuration was estimated to be between 3 and 7 days. By day 14, 82, 91 and 89 % depuration was recorded for edible tissue, non-edible tissue and on a whole body basis, respectively.
- Executive summary:
Bluegill were continuously exposed to a nominal concentration of 3.1 µg/L of 14C-Omite in well water for 35 days after which approximately 35 fish were transferred to flowing uncontaminated water for a 14 day depuration period. Radiometric analyses of the water and selected fish tissues revealed the following:
1. The mean concentration of aqueous 14C-residues in the treated system throughout the 35 day exposure period was 4.0 ± 2.0 µg/L. Concentration of 14C-residues present in the water of the depuration aquarium remained ≤ 0.49 µg/L throughout the 14 day depuration period.
2. The concentration of 14C-residues in the edible tissue of bluegill exposed to 14C-Omite reached steady state by day 7. The mean equilibrium bioconcentration factor for 14C-Omite in the edible tissue of bluegill during the 25 days of exposure was 260X.
3. The concentration of 14C-residues in the non-edible tissue of the exposed bluegill reached steady state by day 10. The mean equilibrium bioconcentration factor for 14C-Omite in the non-edible tissue of bluegill was 1550X.
4. The pattern of accumulation of 14C-residues calculated in the whole body of bluegill exposed to 14C-Omite was similar to that observed for the non-edible tissue. The mean equilibrium bioconcentration factor for 14C-Omite in the whole body of bluegill was 775X.
5. Continuous elimination of 14C-residues from the selected tissue portions of bluegill and consequently on a whole fish basis was observed during the depuration period. Half-life of the 14C-residues present in the edible tissue portion of bluegill on the last day of exposure occurred between the third and seventh day of depuration for the 14C-residues in the edible, non-edible and whole body tissues. By day 14 of the depuration period, 82, 91 and 89 % of the 14C-residues present on the last day of exposure had been eliminated in the edible, non-edible and whole fish tissues, respectively.
6. The percentage of extractable 14C-residues accumulated in the edible tissue was found to be 11 % with methanol, 40 % with hexane and 46 % was non-extractable with either solvent.

Additional information
The bioaccumulation of propargite was determined in two bluegill sunfish studies. They key study was performed to GLP study with an in-house protocol which is considered to be similar or equivalent to OECD 305E. The supporting study was a non-GLP study and was not performed to an appropriate guideline.
In the key study, bluegill sunfish were continuously exposed to a nominal concentration of 3.1 µg/L of 14C-Omite for 35 days after which approximately 35 fish were transferred to flowing uncontaminated water for a 14 day depuration period. Radiometric analyses of the water and selected fish tissues revealed the following: the concentration of 14C-residues in edible tissue reached a steady state by day 7 and the mean equilibrium bioconcentration factor in edible tissue was 260X; the concentration of 14C-residues in non-edible tissue reached a steady state by day 10 and the mean equilibrium bioconcentration factor in non-edible tissue was 1550X; the pattern of accumulation calculated in the whole body was similar to that observed for the non-edible tissue and the mean equilibrium bioconcentration factor in the whole body was 775X (steady state) and 1840X (kinetic); by day 14 of the depuration period, 82, 91 and 89 % of the14C-residues present on the last day of exposure had been eliminated in the edible, non-edible and whole fish tissues, respectively and the percentage of extractable14C-residues accumulated in the edible tissue was found to be 11 % with methanol, 40 % with hexane and 46 % non-extractable with either solvent.
In the supporting study, bluegill sunfish were continuously exposed to14C-Omite at a nominal concentration of 0.025 mg/L for 35 days and the fish remaining were then transferred to an uncontaminated system for 21 days. Fish exposed to 0.025 mg/L for 35 days looked normal, fed readily and appeared to be in excellent physical condition. During the exposure period, bluegill concentrated residues in muscle tissue to a level 165x the level to which they were exposed in water and residues measured in the non-edible portions were approximately 10x the residue in the edible portion. Within 14 days of transfer to uncontaminated water, 70 % of the14C-residues present in the edible portion and 90 % of the14C-residues in the non-edible portion were eliminated.
