Popis: The toxicokinetic study was employed to evaluate the potential of an organism for Ni(II) bioaccumulation, and it was ensured using a bicompartmental model. The effect of Ni(II) concentration on kinetics parameter in Artemia franciscana were determined. In present investigation, the optimized population was observed to be 500, in which the uptake and elimination rate seems to be high with the time period of 120 h by the process of bioaccumulation. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) and metal influx rate (I) were also found to be higher in optimized population when compared to population range of other organism. Based on observations, BCF was inversely related to the concentration. These parameters help in easy prediction of effective bioaccumulation of Ni(II) by Artemia franciscana. The related kinetic parameters were also found to pertinent with bicompartmental model.
