Abstract Yolk is the most important temporary biological compartment of the early life stages of the fish embryos. The sorption strength of a chemical to yolk components may significantly influence the distribution of that chemical in the fish embryo. We determined yolk/water partition coefficients (Kyolk/water in Lwater/kgyolk, normalized to dry weight) for 70 neutral organic chemicals. The log Kyolk/water values cover a range from 0.76 to 6.56. On basis of these values we developed polyparameter linear free energy relationship (pp‐LFER) models to predict yolk/water partitioning for a broad range of neutral organic chemicals with a rmse of 0.37 and a r² of 0.919. These models can be applied for the prediction of internal concentrations at equilibrium (neglecting biotransformation and active transport) in the zebrafish embryo test system.
