| biomarker responses in flounder platichthys flesus from the polish coastal area of the baltic sea and applications in biomonitoring. | the objective of this study was to investigate the pattern of enzymatic activities, environmental genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in flounder, platichthys flesus, from the polish coastal area of the baltic sea. fish were sampled in different contaminated sites in the gulf of gdansk and in a reference area outside the gulf. the activities of acetylcholinesterase (ache), glutathione s: -transferase (gst), catalase (cat), alanine aminotransferase (alt), aspartate aminotransferase (ast), creatine kina ... | 2009 | 19495964 |
| measurements of biomarker levels in flounder (platichthys flesus) and blue mussel (mytilus trossulus) from the gulf of gdańsk (southern baltic). | in the framework of the eu funded beep project a set of biomarkers, gross morphometric indices and tissue concentrations of selected organic pollutants were measured in flounder (platichthys flesus) and mussels (mytilus trossulus) collected twice a year (april and october) from three sites in the inner gulf of gdańsk between autumn 2001 and spring 2003. in flounder, seasonal differences in most biomarkers were observed, but no correlations with tissue pollutant levels could be found. in mussels, ... | 2006 | 16678859 |
| assessment of organotin pollution along the polish coast (baltic sea) by using mussels and fish as sentinel organisms. | levels of tributyltin (tbt) and its degradation products, mono- (mbt) and dibutyltin (dbt), as well as triphenyltin (tpt), were monitored in 10 stations along the polish coast (baltic sea). mussel-mytilus edulis-and fish-platichthys flesus-were used as sentinel organisms. the bioaccumulation patterns of butyltin and phenyltin compounds varied substantially. butyltins were detected in mussel tissue from all the sampled stations. among them, organisms from the gulf of gdansk showed the highest res ... | 2002 | 11993632 |
| hepatic glutathione s-transferase activity in flounder collected from contaminated and reference sites along the polish coast. | the aim of the present study was to examine the activity of hepatic glutathione s-transferase (gst) in flounder, platichthys flesus, as a potential biomarker of exposure to xenobiotics present in the environment. the fish were collected along known pollution gradients and from areas regarded relatively free of anthropogenic input. gst was measured spectrophotometrically in each sampled specimen of flounder. the databases from the studies performed by two research institutes were compiled, and ge ... | 2006 | 16169590 |
