A large‐volume, easily handled exposure vessel for juvenile fish for use in bioaccumulation studies of water‐borne contaminants in larger rivers was designed and tested in the Hudson River in New York. The exposure vessel minimized stress to the fish and allowed representative contaminant accumulation during time‐series subsampling and a long‐term in situ exposure.
