| biomonitoring aquatic environmental quality in a marine protected area: a biomarker approach. | the main aims of the present study, conducted in the framework of the moniqua-egadi scientific project, were twofold: first, to make the first step in the development and validation of an ecotoxicological approach for the assessment of marine pollution in coastal environments on the basis of a set of biomarker responses in new sentinel species; and second, to obtain preliminary information on environmental quality in an italian marine protected area, the egadi islands (sicily). several cytochrom ... | 2007 | 17626468 |
| biochemical and bioaccumulation approaches for investigating marine pollution using mediterranean rainbow wrasse, coris julis (linneaus 1798). | a multibiomarkers approach was used in order to estimate and monitor marine pollution. coris julis (linneaus, 1758) was chosen as a sentinel organism, and the specimens were collected from three well-known sites along the ionic coast of sicily: the protected marine area (p.m.a) "cyclop's islands" of acitrezza (ct), used as a control site, riposto (ct), and the industrial site of augusta (sr). abiotic levels of contaminants were also detected. high levels of biotic and abiotic accumulation were f ... | 2012 | 23025894 |
