Abstract
⺠This is the first study of triclosan and methyl triclosan biotransformation in a fish species ⺠Methyl triclosan was very slowly O-demethylated in the channel catfish liver and intestine ⺠The demethylation was inhibited by DMSO, a solvent commonly used in toxicology studies ⺠Triclosan was rapidly conjugated by glucuronidation and sulfonation ⺠Our results suggest methyl triclosan, but not triclosan, will bioaccumulate in exposed catfish.
