Biomarkers as a Tool to Monitor Environmental Impact on Aquatic Ecosystems / Biomarcadores Como Ferramenta Para Monitorar O Impacto Ambiental Nos Ecossistemas Aquáticos

Abstract

The assessment of aquatic contaminants through biomarkers is an efficient approach in studies of environmental risk and impact since it detects the effects of living beings exposed to the polluted environment early. In this sense, this study aims to demonstrate the use of metallothionein, acetylcholinesterase, micronuclei, comet assay, and cytochrome P450 biomarkers, correlating them
