| interannual variability in fish biomarkers in a contaminated temperate urban estuary. | during the past decade the swan-canning estuary, western australia, has shown signs of stress which has been attributed to high nutrient inputs. there is little information on the effect of nonnutrient contaminants on biota inhabiting the estuary. a suite of biomarkers was measured on black bream (acanthopagrus butcheri) to determine whether annual variations in fish biomarkers exist in the wet (winter) and dry (summer) seasons. serum sorbitol dehydrogenase showed no significant differences betw ... | 2005 | 15978291 |
| interseasonal variability in biomarkers of exposure in fish inhabiting a southwestern australian estuary. | the swan-canning estuary, in southwestern australia, undergoes distinct seasonal changes, with freshwater discharge predominant in the winter (wet) season and low flow with high salinity predominant in the dry summer season. to investigate seasonal variability in biomarkers of exposure in fish, black bream (acanthopagrus butcheri) were collected from seven sites in the swan-canning estuary in winter 2000 and in summer 2001. no interseasonal or intersite differences in serum sorbitol dehydrogenas ... | 2005 | 16161118 |
| interdecadal changes in the community, population and individual levels of the fish fauna of an extensively modified estuary. | this study examined inter-period changes over two to three decades in the fish fauna of an urbanized estuary experiencing rapid population growth and a drying climate (swan-canning estuary, western australia). responses were compared at the fish community level (species composition; 1978-2009 in the shallows and 1993-2009 in deeper waters) and at the population and individual levels of an estuarine indicator species, black bream acanthopagrus butcheri (biomass-abundance and per capita mass at ag ... | 2017 | 28164280 |
| otolith microchemistry: insights into bioavailable pollutants in a man-made, urban inlet. | black bream (acanthopagrus butcheri) were collected from an artificial inlet, claisebrook cove, western australia. claisebrook cove is adjacent to an historic contaminated site that was remediated during the 1990s. it was later identified as a priority area due to elevated levels of sediment contaminants including zn, cu, and pb. black bream were collected from this cove in 2005 and 2012 and their otoliths were analysed by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry of the most r ... | 2017 | 28237077 |
