Bioaccumulation and ecological aspects in tropical marine food.

Minwei Kang*

Multiple environmental pressures caused by global warming and human activities have heightened public concern about PAH pollution in tropical marine coral reef regions (CRRs). However, the trophodynamics of PAHs in CRR food webs and the influencing factors have not been reported. This study investigated the occurrence, trophic amplification, and transmission of PAHs in various organisms in CRRs of the South China Sea (SCS); revealed their driving mechanisms; and investigated the trophodynamics of PAHs in the coral reef ecosystem's food web.
