Links between biomarkers of PAH exposure in flounder and susceptability to disease - AE1125
|
Description
Summary Objectives:-
Under laboratory conditions, expose flounders to sediments contaminated with two organic pollutants and assess changes in growth, biochemistry and immunology to establish the threshold concentration when these chemicals are likely to cause fish disease.
Key Customer Purpose:-
Assist DEFRA in providing authoritative advice on the interpretation of fish disease surveys in the vicinity of organically contaminated marine areas including disposal sites. Provide quality assurance for the use of biomarker and fish pathological techniques in national and international monitoring programmes. |
