Cancerous diseases in aquatic animals and their association with environmental pollutants: A critical literature review
TLDR
Much additional research is required before the relationship(s) between environmental pollution and neoplasms in indigenous aquatic species can be understood, and the current state of knowledge in the general areas of fish and shellfish metabolism and the use of aquatic animal models in studies of chemical carcinogenesis is described.About:

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
The use of biomarkers in biomonitoring: a 2-tier approach assessing the level of pollutant-induced stress syndrome in sentinel organisms.
TL;DR: A selection of biomarkers of stress, genotoxicity and exposure usually employed in biomonitoring programmes is presented, together with a brief overview of new biomolecular approaches.

Biochemical responses in aquatic animals: A review of determinants of oxidative stress
Richard T. Di Giulio,Peter C. Washburn,Richard J. Wenning,Gary W. Winston,Catherine S.E. Jewell +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach only recently investigated by aquatic toxicologists will be described and reviewed in detail, based on theories of oxyradical generation and subsequent oxidative stress in biological systems.

Cytochrome P-450 Monooxygenase Systems in Aquatic Species: Carcinogen Metabolism and Biomarkers for Carcinogen and Pollutant Exposure
John J. Stegeman,John J. Lech +1 more
TL;DR: High levels of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) carcinogens commonly occur in aquatic systems where neoplasms arise in fish and other animals andenzymes that transform PAHs can act in initiatin formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The sediment quality triad approach to determining pollution-induced degradation
TL;DR: The combination of potential cause (chemistry) and effect (biology) measurements makes the Sediment Quality Triad one of the most complete and powerful tools available today to determine the extent and significance of pollution-induced degradation.

Carcinogens are Mutagens: A Simple Test System Combining Liver Homogenates for Activation and Bacteria for Detection
TL;DR: It is proposed that a ring system sufficiently planar for a stacking interaction with DNA base pairs and a part of the molecule capable of being metabolized to a reactive group are discussed in terms of the theory of frameshift mutagenesis.

Sampling Design and Statistical Methods for Environmental Biologists
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach for optimal impact study design, based on the concept of simple variables, derived from simple variables, and biological variables in special areas, with the goal of determining when and where the impact should be inferred from spatial patterns alone.

TL;DR: In this paper, the levels of four sets of pollutants (heavy-metals, artificial radionuclides, petroleum components, and halogenated hydrocarbons) have been measured in U.S. coastal waters, using bivalves as sentinel organisms.

Expression of cellular oncogenes in human malignancies
TL;DR: The cellular fes (feline sarcoma) oncogene, not previously known to be transcribed in mammalian tissue, was found to be active in lung and hematopoietic malignancies.
