“…Estuary-collected and laboratory-exposed crabs are consistent with levels reported previously 250 in coastal waters (Law et al, 1997;Kirby et al, 1998;Woodhead et al, 1999), and within organisms [shore crabs and in eels Anguilla Anguilla (Ruddock et al, 2003)] that are known to result in physiological impairment, such as alteration in antioxidant levels, altered cellular function (viability and immune function), elevated heart rates and decreased oxygen consumption (Fossi et al, 2000;Dissanayake et al, 2008a;2008b).…”

“…Other authors have reported that analysis of bile metabolites, especially 1-OHP, is a convenient and relatively rapid method for monitoring PAH contamination in fish (Hosnedl et al 2003). Ruddock et al (2003) determined PAH bile metabolite in three fish species from the Severn estuary. They reported that the major metabolite present in all fish was 1-OHP (75-94% of all metabolites detected).…”

“…Biliary PAH metabolite analysis provides indirect information regarding the exposure of fish to these contaminants and reveals the state of the aquatic environment (Vuontisjarvi et al 2004). The most common metabolite detected in enzymatically hydrolyzed fish bile is 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) (Ruddock et al 2003). The aim of the present study was to assess PAH contamination in 8 selected sites on the Bílina River using fish biliary metabolites.…”

Assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contamination of the Bílina River (Czech Republic) using passive water samplers and fish biliary metabolites

The aim of the study was to assess polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination on the Bílina River (the Czech Republic) by measurement of three PAH biliary metabolites in fish and 16 PAHs in passive samplers. A total of sixty-one fish were collected; the indicator species were chub (Leuciscus cephalus L.; n = 25), roach (Rutilus rutilus L.; n = 17) and brown trout (Salmo trutta m. fario L.; n = 19). Three biliary PAH metabolites were measured: 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP), 2-naphtol, and 1-hydroxyphenanthrene, but only 1-OHP was detected in all fish. The highest median value of 32.3 ng·mg -1 of 1-OHP was found at Ústí nad Labem, while the lowest median value of 27.6 ng·mg -1 was found in the control site, Březenec. No significant differences (P < 0.05) among the sites were found. The highest concentration of PAH was detected in Litvínov-Záluží (172.0 ng·l -1 ) and the lowest concentration (7.9 ng·l -1 ) was detected in Březenec. A positive, but non-significant correlation (r s = 0.8) was confirmed between biliary 1-OHP and total PAH in passive samplers. These results indicate the highest pollution in the middle stretches of the Bílina River, especially at Litvínov-Záluží. We confirmed 1-OHP as the most prevalent PAH biliary metabolite in fish that could be used as a biomarker for assessment of PAH pollution of the aquatic ecosystem. The main importance of the present study is in the combination of biochemical and chemical monitoring that provides complex evaluation of aquatic environment contamination. It was the first study on the Bílina River, in which the assessment of PAH contamination in the aquatic ecosystem was realized using combination of biotic and abiotic monitoring. PAH, 1-hydroxypyrene, SPMD, river pollution, biomonitoringThe environment is continuously loaded by allochtonous organic chemicals that have been produced and, in part, released into the environment by urban communities and industries. The ultimate destination of many of these contaminants is the aquatic environment, either via direct discharge or due to hydrological and atmospheric processes. One group of important ubiquitous environmental contaminants are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) that are formed mainly by incomplete combustion of organic materials such as fossil fuels, industrial activities, smoked food, and smoked tobacco (Van der Oost et al. 2003).Many vertebrate aquatic organisms are able to metabolize and excrete PAH rapidly. Since the elimination of PAH is generally efficient in fish, no bioaccumulation of these compounds in fish has been proved. Concentrations of PAH in fish tissue are therefore not indicative of the concentrations to which the animals were exposed and cannot be used as biomarker for exposure assessment (Van der Oost et al. 2003). Fish absorb PAH through the gills and body surface but they can be also exposed through ingestion of food or contaminated sediment (Vuontisjarvi et al. 2004). The liver is the major organ involved in PAH metabolism, and the metabolites produced are secreted into ...

“…The level of ∑PAHs in Snakehead (1929 ng g −1 lw) was higher than VOs deployed in WZ, while those in grass carp (525 ng g −1 lw) and black carp (852 ng g − 1 lw) were little lower than VOs from WZ (950 and 1104 ng g −1 lw). PAHs are found easily metabolized to more water soluble hydroxyl-PAHs in animals, thus they are not bioaccumulated in large amounts in fish as it is the case with lipophilic organic pollutants (Ruddock et al, 2003;Verweij et al, 2004;Szlinder-Richert et al, 2014). The pattern of PAHs composition in fish was found obviously different from that in VOs (Fig.…”
