The bioaccumulation of ten polychlorinated biphenyl(PCB) congeners was investigated within different tissues in three prawns(Penaeusorientalis Kishinouce,Laomedia astacina de Haan and P enaeus vannamei Boone) and one mud crab(Scylla serrata Forsskal) from mixed-aquaculture ponds in Taizhou in April 2007.The average concentrations(wet mass) of PCBs in muscle,head,and rind tissues for mean among these prawn species were 7.04,21.16,and 11.47 ng/g,respectively.The average concentrations of PCBs in muscle,branchia,and spawn in Scylla serrata were 6.49,21.13,and 19.76 ng/g,respectively.The concentrations of CB28 were the highest in prawn tissues(2.40 ng/g),and accounted for 18.60% of PCBs.The concentration of CB52 was the lowest.The application of principal component analysis(PCA) for the estimation of PCB sources of contamination resulted in first component main contributions of CB101,CB153 and CB28 in the muscle,head,and rind in combined prawn samples,respectively.The enrichment level of PCBs for different tissues varied greatly.The accumulation coefficient of PCBs in prawn muscle,head,and rind tissues were 396.35,1 191.79,and 645.91,respectively.For the Scylla serrata,the accumulation coefficients were 365.81,1 190.50,and 1 113.31 for muscle,branchia,and spawn tissues,respectively.For prawns,the accumulation coefficient of CB153 was the highest in muscle tissues,while CB155 had the highest coefficients in the head and rind tissues.The CB155 coefficient was the highest in spawn tissues of the mud crab.
