Effects of furadan in the brown mussel Perna perna and in the mangrove oyster Crassostrea rhizophorae
Link between exposure of fish (
An analytical method consisting in enzymatic deconjugation, solid phase
extraction and purification, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry
analysis after derivatization was used in this study to quantify Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH)
metabolites in the bile of fish. The method has been applied in a laboratory
experiment studying the fate of pyrene in basin containing soles. This study
has allowed the identification of 1-hydroxypyrene as the single metabolite
in bile after enzymatic deconjugation. In a second time, 1-hydroxypyrene has
been used as a biomarker of exposure in the case of the “Erika” oil spill. This
biomonitoring was successful in demonstrating the exposure of juvenile soles
to PAHs present in the “Erika” fuel oil
Characterization of cholinesterase activity in three bivalves inhabiting the North Adriatic sea and their possible use as sentinel organisms for biosurveillance programmes
Joint action of pollutant combinations (pesticides and metals) on survival (LC50 values) and acetylcholinesterase activity of Tigriopus brevicornis (Copepoda, Harpacticoida)
