Juvenile bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) contained significantly elevated levels of Se in all tissues after exposure to 10 .mu.g/l for 120 days. The relative accumulation of Se in specific tissues was as follows: spleen > heart > liver > kidney > erythrocytes > gill > plasma > white muscle > gonad > intestine > stomach > brain. Water temperature and hardness did not affect the equilibrium concentrations or tissue distribution observed after 90 days, although earlier values were influenced. Se concentrations remained unchanged after 30-day elimination trials in spleen, liver, kidney and white muscle but exhibited a half-life retention time .ltoreq. 15 days in gill and erythrocytes. The largest difference between species was in the Se content of white muscle, with bluegill concentrating, approximately twice that of largemouth bass. The major uptake pathway was erythrocyte transport mediated by active oxo-groups on the Se anion, with subsequent exchange at preferential sites. High apportionment into the spleen and heart may have been influenced by differential formation of selenoproteins. Even though no mortality resulted under these controlled experimental conditions, possible pathologic enhancement, combined with the added body burden from dietary intake, suggested the potential for toxicity in natural systems where waterborne Se concentrations approached 10 .mu.g/l.
