Popis: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution caused by marine oil spills and antibiotic pollution caused by aquaculture industries were common environmental problems in the Yellow River Estuary, China. But few data are reported on the bioaccumulation and influencing factors of these two types of contaminants in aquaculture simultaneously. This study investigated the occurrence and bioaccumulation of PAHs and antibiotics in aquaculture areas of the Yellow River Estuary, and explored the factors affecting the bioaccumulation. 3-ring PAHs and fluoroquinolones were dominant contaminants in the study area. The concentrations of PAHs and antibiotics in lipid-rich tissues (fish viscus, shrimp head, and crab ovary) was higher than that in muscle. It indicated that the lipid content was an important factor affecting the bioaccumulation capacity. Physicochemical parameters (K
