“…The relationship between EROD induction and exposure to chemicals has been investigated in over 150 different fish species throughout the world (Gooch et al 1989;Narbonne et al 1991;Gunther et al 1997;Fent and Batscher 2000;Kucklick et al 2002;Aarab et al 2004;Wafo et al 2005;Ferreira et al 2006). All these studies confirm that, as a biomonitoring tool, measurement of EROD activity in fish gives information about exposure to certain planar halogenated and PAHs and other structurally similar compounds.…”

Pollution of the aquatic environment is a global concern owing to the devastating effects of contaminants whose levels are growing at an alarming rate, and it has become a major threat for marine organisms, as well as to humans as consumers. This study has been carried out on leaping mullet obtained from Aliaga Bay, which is located on the west coast of the Aegean Sea near Izmir and hosts the world's fifth largest shipyard, plus a broad range of industrial activities, including an oil refinery and a paper factory. The waste from these industries, combined with municipal sewer discharges, is the main cause of pollution in this region. There is no national documentation or research on the determination of pollution resulting from the industrial activities in this area. In the present study, the degree of induction of CYP4501A-associated 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity and immunochemical detection of CYP1A1 in the liver of leaping mullet (Lisa saliens) were used as biomarkers for the assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-type organic pollutants in Aliaga Bay. Mullet caught from different locations of the bay had approximately 52 times more EROD activity than the feral fish sampled from a clean reference site near Foca, Izmir. The results of this study indicate that Aliaga Bay is highly contaminated with PAH-type organic pollutants.

“…Biomarkers have been used successfully to understand the mechanism of toxicity of environmental contaminants (Countryman and Heddle 1976;Raffray et al 1993;Wilson et al 1998;Baird 2004;Nishikawa et al 2004;Santos et al 2005;Alves de Almeida et al 2007;Taioli et al 2007), to detect the presence of specific toxicants in the environment (Ellman et al 1961;Bryan et al 1983;Ariese et al 1993;Bettin et al 1996;Aas and Klungsoyr 1998;Cima et al 1999;Langston et al 2002;Dissanayake and Galloway 2004;Watson et al 2004a, b;Vuorinen et al 2006) and to determine the health of organisms in situ (Adams et al 1993;Pedersen et al 1997;Williams et al 1998;Astley et al 1999;Narbonne et al 1999;Galloway et al 2002;Langston et al 2002;Aarab et al 2004;Bonacci et al 2004;Galloway et al 2004b;O'Neill et al 2004;Watson et al 2004a;Galloway et al 2006;Langston et al 2007;Hagger et al 2008a, b). However, there is little information on how suites of biomarkers, and the classification of health they provide, may be affected by the multi-factorial impact of different environmental variables in the field at different times of the year (Bodin et al 2004;Camus et al 2004;Farcy et al 2007).…”

The influence of seasonality on biomarker responses in Mytilus edulis

The utility of some biomarkers in environmental monitoring may be limited due to the lack of knowledge that exists on how they respond to extrinsic abiotic and intrinsic biotic factors. During the present study we investigated the seasonal responses of three biomarkers, Neutral Red Retention, clearance/filtration rate and heart rate in the common blue mussel Mytilus edulis located in the Exe Estuary, UK during September 2006-September 2007. During the current study, a significant decrease in feeding rate was observed in mussels during June, July and August 2007, coinciding with the period following spawning when the mussels lay down nutrient reserves. Heart rate also increased between April and September 2007 and corresponded with times when mussels were spawning and laying down nutrient reserves. By integrating the individual biomarker responses into a Biomarker Response Index (BRI) we were able to identify times of the year when environmental impact was highest and hence when the timing of monitoring programmes using biomarkers should be carried out. For many years the lack of knowledge of normal physiological ranges of biomarkers has impeded their applied use, however by integrating biomarker responses into the BRI and creating an index of health, we have shown that we can limit the natural variability of individual responses; and thus we are better able to make informed judgements on the overall health status of these populations of mussels.

“…Measuring several biomarkers at the same time in the same animals allows a pertinent approach to evaluate the effects of pollutants on individuals (Lagadic et al 2000). The use of a battery of biomarkers may be useful to evaluate the various responses to mixtures of pollutants in organisms under stress (Aarab et al 2004). Such studies usually resulted in a set of multimarker data, which is often difficult to combine into an assessment of the overall health status of an organism (Chèvre et al 2003).…”

In the present study, multibiomarker effects of the river water of three representative sections in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River were investigated in goldfish (Carassius auratus). The organic toxicants were extracted from the water samples using solid phase extraction. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and Na+/K+-ATPase activities were determined after exposure of the extracted components. The fractions of water samples from three sections (Daqiao, Sanchahe and Jiangxinzhou) altered these enzymatic activities. With the change of the extracts polarity, the levels of AChE, GST, EROD, Na+/K+-ATPase activities were different. The responses of enzymatic activities were mostly significant for those exposures of intermediate polar components (50-80% methanol extracts) and weakly polar components (ether and ether/hexane extracts). It has been shown that toxicants were mainly concentrated in these fractions in the Yangtze River (Nanjing section). With regard to response for different sections, EROD and GST activities seem to be more sensitive biomarkers. Integrated biomarker response index (IBR) were calculated and used to evaluate an integrated impact of pollutants from different sampling sections. The order of negative biological effects of the three sections was Jiangxinzhou>Sanchahe>Daqiao. The wild fish living in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River were at potential ecological risk.
