Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological relevance of biomarkers in monitoring studies of macro-invertebrates and fish in Mediterranean rivers
Nicole Colin,Cinta Porte,Denise Fernandes,Carlos Barata,Francesc Padrós,Maite Carrassón,Mario Monroy,Oriol Cano-Rocabayera,Adolfo de Sostoa,Benjamin Piña,Alberto Maceda-Veiga,Alberto Maceda-Veiga,Alberto Maceda-Veiga +12 more
TL;DR: Evidence that multi-biomarker approaches detect early signs of impairment in populations is provided, and their incorporation in the standardised procedures of the Water Frame Work Directive is supported to better appraise the status of European water bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation and bioconcentration of carbamazepine and other pharmaceuticals in fish under field and controlled laboratory experiments. Evidences of carbamazepine metabolization by fish.

TL;DR: The results reinforce the need of analyzing multiple species to account for the environmental impact of pollutants, negating the simplification of a single, "representative model" during ecotoxicological biomonitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-biomarker responses in fish (Jenynsia multidentata) to assess the impact of pollution in rivers with mixtures of environmental contaminants.
Maria Laura Ballesteros,N.G. Rivetti,D.O. Morillo,Lidwina Bertrand,María Valeria Amé,María de los Angeles Bistoni +5 more
TL;DR: Multivariate analysis demonstrated the hypothesis that contamination of the Ctalamochita River occurs in sites impacted by anthropic activity, and biomarkers had an individually differential response depending on the hydrological seasons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in fish with different feeding habits inhabiting a shallow lake ecosystem
María Florencia Silva Barni,Paola Mariana Ondarza,Mariana Gonzalez,Rodrigo Hernán Da Cuña,Fernando J. Meijide,Fabián Grosman,Pablo Sanzano,Fabiana Laura Lo Nostro,Karina S.B. Miglioranza +8 more
TL;DR: The simultaneous exposure of fish to multiple environmental pollutants leads to different alterations, so measures should be taken in order to prevent their occurrence and toxic effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioural and life-history responses of mosquitofish to biologically inspired and interactive robotic predators.
Giovanni Polverino,Giovanni Polverino,Mert Karakaya,Chiara Spinello,Vrishin R. Soman,Maurizio Porfiri +5 more
TL;DR: The results support the prediction that real-time interactions at varying swimming speeds evoke a more robust antipredator response in mosquitofish than simpler movement patterns by the robot, especially in individuals with better body conditions that are less prone to take risks.

Standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater
TL;DR: The most widely read reference in the water industry, Water Industry Reference as discussed by the authors, is a comprehensive reference tool for water analysis methods that covers all aspects of USEPA-approved water analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-step method of RNA isolation by acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction
TL;DR: A new method of total RNA isolation by a single extraction with an acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform mixture is described, providing a pure preparation of undegraded RNA in high yield and can be completed within 4 h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hazards of heavy metal contamination.
TL;DR: Recent data indicate that adverse health effects of cadmium exposure may occur at lower exposure levels than previously anticipated, primarily in the form of kidney damage but possibly also bone effects and fractures, and measures should be taken to reduce cadmiam exposure in the general population in order to minimize the risk of adverse health results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fish bioaccumulation and biomarkers in environmental risk assessment: a review
TL;DR: There is little doubt that measurements of bioaccumulation and biomarker responses in fish from contaminated sites offer great promises for providing information that can contribute to environmental monitoring programs designed for various aspects of ERA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitellogenesis as a biomarker for estrogenic contamination of the aquatic environment.
John P. Sumpter,Susan Jobling +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that effluent from sewage treatment works contains a chemical, or mixture of chemicals, that induces vitellogenin synthesis in male fish maintained in the effluent, thus indicating that the effluents is estrogenic.
