As a component of a large research project to evaluate the effects of contaminants on fish health in the field, histopathological studies have been conducted to help establish causal relationship between pollutants (heavy metals and aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbonsPAHs) and histopathological responses in Senegal sole, Solea senegalensis, from an estuary of SW Spain. Heavy metals (As, Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu and Fe) and 16 PAHs (proprietary USEPA) concentrations in water, sediment and tissues (liver and gills) and histopathological alterations in S. senegalensis from three sampling sites of Ria de Huelva estuary during 2004-2006 years have been analysed. The histopathological studies revealed seasonal and spatial differences in the lesion grade of alterations observing the highest lesion grades in fish from Odiel River and autumn season. No significant differences were observed in the alterations prevalence between sampling sites, but significant differences were observed between seasons observing the highest prevalence in autumn season. However, calculated IPAT demonstrated a lowmoderate impact of pollutants on health fish. Correlations between histopathological alterations and pollutants analysed were observed being heavy metals the group that presented a major number of correlations with alterations in several organs of S. senegalensis. In evaluating the general health of fish, the use of histopathological studies in recommended for making more reliable assessment of biochemical responses in fish exposed to a variety of environmental stressors. Statistical analysis using semiquantitative data on pathological lesions can help to establish correlation between cause (stressor) and effect (biomarker).

“…Roy et al (2003) observed higher PAHs of low molecular weight in coal oil point (COP) sediments than high molecular PAHs. This is consistent with previous studies showing that natural petroleum seeps lend to have higher concentrations of lower molecular weight aromatic hydrocarbons (Spies et al 1980).…”

“…Die Analyse von PAKMetaboliten in Fischgalle ist daher eine geeignete Methode für das Monitoring der aktuellen PAK-Belastung von Fischen. PAK-Metaboliten wurden bereits in Gallenflüssigkei-ten von vielen marinen Fischarten nachgewiesen; entweder nach der Exposition mit PAK im Labor (Luthe et al 2002;Roy et al 2003;van Schanke et al 2001) oder in Wildfängen (Ruddock et al 2003;Vuontisjarvi et al 2004). Der Hauptmetabolit in Fischgalle ist das 1-Hydroxypyren (1-OH-Pyr), das bis zu 76 % an der Summe der PAK-Metaboliten ausmacht.…”

Zusammenfassung Ziel und Hintergrund Im Rahmen eines integrierten Schadstoff-und Bioeffektmonitorings in der Wismar-Bucht (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) wurde die Aalmutter (Zoarces viviparus) als Bioindikator für die Belastung von Biota mit polyzyklischen aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen (PAK) gewählt. Diese Substanzen spielen als Umweltkontaminanten im Meer eine bedeutende Rolle, und in der Ostsee treten bekanntlich vergleichsweise hohe Gehalte von PAK auf. Die Ziele der vorliegenden Untersuchung waren die Klärung der Fragen, ob PAK-Belastungsunterschiede der Fische in der Wismar-Bucht kleinräumig aufgelöst werden können und ob sich in den Verhältnissen der Metaboliten potentielle PAK-Quellen widerspiegeln.Material und Methoden Die Gehalte an PAK-Metaboliten wurden in 183 Aalmuttern analysiert, die im Frühjahr 2008 an drei Stationen in der Wismar-Bucht gefangen wurden. In der Gallenflüssigkeit der Tiere wurden zwei Metabolite mittels HPLC-Fluoreszenz bestimmt. Zusätzlich wurde der Gehalt an Gallenpigmenten photometrisch ermittelt.Ergebnisse Die Konzentrationen von 1-Hydroxypyren in der Gallenflüssigkeit waren an allen drei untersuchten Stationen signifikant verschieden. Die höchsten Werte wurden nahe der Stadt Wismar gemessen und betrugen im Stationsmittel 1086 ng/ml. Die Gehalte der individuellen Messungen 1-Hydroxypyren lagen im Bereich von < 22,5 bis 3317 ng/ml. Die Gehalte von 1-Hydroxyphenanthren waren niedriger (2,1-803 ng/ml) und erreichten in Wismar einen Mittelwert von 96 ng/ml.Diskussion Die hohen Gehalte an 1-Hydroxypyren in Aalmuttern nahe der Stadt Wismar sind angesichts der deutlichen anthropogenen Belastung durch Hafenanlagen, Werften und Schiffsverkehr in diesem Gebiet plausibel und stimmen mit Literaturdaten überein. 1-Hydroxyphenantren wurde in Aalmuttern in höheren Gehalten im Vergleich zu früheren Studien gefunden. Regionale Unterschiede im Verhältnis der beiden Metaboliten könnten als Hinweis auf eine lokale PAK-Quelle gewertet werden.Empfehlungen und Ausblick PAK-Metaboliten sind ein geeigneter Parameter für das Monitoring der PAK-Belastung von ortstreuen Fischen wie der Aalmutter. Durch die Berechnung von Metaboliten-Verhältnissen können zusätzliche Hinweise auf potentielle PAK-Quellen gewonnen werden.Schlüsselwörter Aalmuttern (Zoarces viviparus) · Bioeffektmonitoring · Monitoring · Ostsee · PAK-Metaboliten Monitoring of PAH metabolites in eelpout (Zoarces viviparus) from Wismar BightAbstract Background, aim, and scope Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are important environmental contaminants in the marine environment. The Baltic is known to be significantly contaminated with PAH. The eelpout (Zoarces viviparus) has been used for coastal monitoring in the Baltic. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether the eelpout can be used to investigate PAH contamination in the Mecklenburg Bight and whether PAH sources may be revealed by the relation of the metabolites. 123Umweltwiss Schadst Forsch (2010) 22:541-546 Material and methods PAH metabolites were determined in the bile flui...

“…fishes washed up on a beach or mud flat, or economically exploited species that are in apparent decline based on the development of unfilled fisheries quotas. In the case of the RECOVER Consortium, the primary foci are the mahi mahi, Coryphaena hippurus, the red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus and the cobia, Rachycentron canadum and other economically important species [111]- [114]. Yet, the shortest distance between two points (a particular pollutant on one hand, and on the other a comprehensive understanding of its overall effect on animals and plants within the ecosystem) may not be a straight line.…”

The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the USA's Gulf of Mexico created a high degree of exposure of marine organisms to toxic polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in crude oil. To determine the ecological and physiological effects of crude oil on the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem, the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative created several research consortia to address overreaching questions concerning the biological impacts of the ecology of the Gulf of Mexico that would otherwise be beyond the capabilities of an individual investigator or a small group. One of these consortia, highlighted in this article, is the RECOVER Consortium, which brings together physiologists, developmental biologists, toxicologists and other life scientists to focus on the multifaceted physiological effects of PAHs, especially as they pertain to cardiovascular and metabolic physiology of economically important fish species. Using the Recover Consortium's interdisciplinary approach to revealing the biological impacts of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill as a case study, we make the argument for interdisciplinary teams that bring together scientists with different specialties as an efficient way-and perhaps the only way-to unravel highly complex biological effects of marine oil spills.
