Pоlychlоrinаted biphenyls (PCBs) аre tоxic chemicаls that were widely used in manufacturing until they were banned in the U.S. in 1977. PCBs are very persistent in the environment and bind strongly to sediments, meaning that bottom dwelling and filter feeding organisms are likely to take in PCBs as they feed. PCBs accumulate in the fatty tissues and, to a lesser extent, muscle tissues of organisms. Examine the food web above. Which species do you predict would have the highest concentration of PCBs in their tissues?
