| Abstract |
When performing basic and translational laboratory studies with aquatic organisms, particularly for bioaccumulation, toxicity, or biotransformation experiments, it is imperative to control the route and dose of exposure. Contamination of feed and the organisms prior to study could alter the results of an experiment. Furthermore, if organisms not exposed in the lab are used for quality assurance/quality control, then blank levels, method detection limits, and limits of quantitation can be affected. In an effort to determine the magnitude of this potential issue for exposure studies involving Pimephales promelas, we analyzed a suite of 24 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in four types of feed from three different companies and in organisms from five aquaculture facilities. Contamination with PFAS was found in all types of materials and organisms from all aquaculture farms. The most frequently detected PFAS in fish feed and aquaculture fathead minnows were perfluorocarboxylic acids and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). Concentrations of total and individual PFAS in feed ranged from nondetect to 76 ng/g and from nondetect to 60 ng/g, respectively. Fathead minnows were contaminated with PFOS and perfluorohexane sulfonate as well as several perflourocarboxylic acids. Concentrations of total and individual PFAS ranged from 1.4 to 351 ng/g and from nondetect to 328 ng/g, respectively. The PFOS measured in food was primarily the linear isomer, consistent with greater bioaccumulation of that isomer in organisms raised as fish food. Future studies are necessary to define the extent of PFAS contamination in aquatic culture facilities and aquaculture production operations. Environ Toxicol Chem 2023;00:1-9. © 2023 The Authors.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 56. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 June 2023.
All research outputs
#774,893
of 25,756,911 outputs
Outputs from Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry
#78
of 5,736 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#15,814
of 385,610 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry
#1
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,756,911 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,736 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 385,610 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
