This review compiles and evaluates existing scientific information on the use, limitations,
and procedural considerations for EROD activity (a catalytic measurement of cytochrome …

Organotin compounds are ubiquitous contaminants in the environment. The high biological
acitivity of some compounds toward aquatic organisms lead to deleterious impacts in …

Large volumes of produced water are generated and discharged to the coastal and ocean
waters worldwide from offshore oil and gas production facilities. There is concern that the …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as environmental contaminants often cannot be
adequately described by reference to Aroclors or to total PCBs. Although there are 209 …

Aquatic toxicology has been defined as the qualitative and quantitative study of adverse or
toxic effects of chemicals and other anthropogenic materials on aquatic organisms. The …

Representing toxicant‐induced changes in biological systems, biomarkers can serve as
linkers between contamination (cause) and biological effects, and therefore provide unique …

This chapter focuses on a number of enzymes and other proteins that show responses to
pollutants. It provides background information on the nature, function, and biological …

High levels of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) carcinogens commonly occur in
aquatic systems where neoplasms arise in fish and other animals. Enzymes that transform …

Reflecting more than a decade's worth of changes, Animal Models in Toxicology, Second
Edition is a practical guide to the common statistical problems encountered in toxicology and …

Fish liver microscopic structure is an integrator of physiological and biochemical function
which, when altered, may produce biomarkers of prior exposure to toxicants. The liver has a …
