| monitoring pollution in river mureş, romania, part iii: biochemical effect markers in fish and integrative reflection. | along a downstream stretch of river mureş, romania, adult males of two feral fish species, european chub (leuciscus cephalus) and sneep (chondrostoma nasus) were sampled at four sites with different levels of contamination. fish were analysed for the biochemical markers hsp70 (in liver and gills) and hepatic erod activity, as well as several biometrical parameters (age, length, wet weight, condition factor). none of the biochemical markers correlated with any biometrical parameter, thus biomarke ... | 2007 | 16957855 |
| monitoring pollution in river mureş, romania, part ii: metal accumulation and histopathology in fish. | as a part of an exposure and effect monitoring conducted along the river mureş, western romania in 2004, the health status of two indigenous fish species, sneep (chondrostoma nasus) and european chub (leuciscus cephalus) was investigated upstream and downstream the city of arad. in fish, histopathology was assessed in liver and gills, and heavy metals (cadmium, copper, lead and zinc) were analyzed in liver samples. in both fish species, histopathological reactions in the gills (epithelial liftin ... | 2008 | 17876715 |
