Popis: Several regression equations of high statistical quality expressing the relationship between bioconcentration factors (BCF) in fish and octanol-water partition coefficients (K OW ) of nonpolar, stable («inert») chemicals have been established and published in the literature. In this study bioconcentration factors of chlorinated aromatic amines in guppy (Poecilia reticulata), determined in a semistatic system, are presented. The BCF values of the chlorinated anilines are significantly smaller than calculated BCF values based on the regression equations forinert chemicals, the BCFs of the more hydrophobic derivatives showing the highest deviation
