Details on results:
Concentrations in fish tissue:
High level treatment: 0.79 to 1.94 mg/kg, ww
Low level treatment: 0.21 to 1.05 mg/kg, ww
Executive summary:

The BCFs in the test with 15 µg BPA/L ranged from <= 20 to 67 L/kg. The BCFs in the test with 150 µg/L ranged from 5.1 to 13.3 L/kg.

BPA has a low potential for bioaccumulation in fish.

Description of key information

Bisphenol A has low potential for bioaccumulation based on laboratory bioconcentration factors of less than or equal to 73 L/kg in fish.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
73 L/kg ww
