Role <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fish</strong> Species<br />

Summary/Conclusions (Inorganic <strong>Arsenic</strong>)<br />

FHM accumulates less <strong>to</strong>tal arsenic from diet than RBT,<br />

and converts more <strong>to</strong> organic forms.<br />

For growth, FHM less sensitive than RBT based on diet<br />

concentration, but similar based on <strong>to</strong>tal accumulation.<br />

FHM accumulates more arsenic from water than RBT, but<br />

this does not contribute additively <strong>to</strong> growth effects.<br />

For mortality, FHM more sensitive than RBT based on<br />

water concentration, but not based on accumulation in fish.<br />
