Effects of phenanthrene on growth and basic physiological functions of the olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus

Effects of Dietary Benzo[a]pyrene on Growth and Hematological Parameters in Juvenile Rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli (Hilgendorf)

“…Moles et al (1987) suggested that the slower growth of salmon exposed to oil was mainly attributable to the energy deficiency caused by the need to metabolize and detoxify PAH. Jee et al (2004) showed an adverse exposure-dependent effect on the growth of juvenile olive flounder exposed to waterborne phenanthrene (1.0 and 2.0 lM) for 4 weeks. Heintz et al (2000) showed that sublethal oil exposure affected the growth of pink salmon, with concentrations of 18.0-48.0 ppb significantly retarding their growth.…”

The Effect of Phenanthrene on Some Hematological Indices Yellowfin Seabream (Acanthopagrus Latus)

“…Phenanthrene (Phe) is one of the most abundant compounds of PAHs in the aquatic environment because of both petrogenic and pyrogenic sources. It is among 16 PAHs that are on the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) priority pollutant list [1,4]. The concentration of recorded from 15.438 to 632.682 ng/g in the sediment of the Persian Gulf, is situated at the south of Iran [1].…”

“…The concentration of recorded from 15.438 to 632.682 ng/g in the sediment of the Persian Gulf, is situated at the south of Iran [1]. This compound could cause structural damage to the hematopoiesis tissues [4]. Phe and its metabolites cause oxidative stress by inducing a high level of reactive oxygen species, which leads to the destruction of the blood cells [4].…”

Repeated Sampling of Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) for Monitoring of Nondestructive Parameters During Exposure to a Synthetic Produced Water

“…The selection of biomarkers used in the present study needed to be suitable for samples obtained by nondestructive sampling and therefore included growth and condition, hematocrit, oxidative stress using the total oxyradical scavenging capacity (TOSC) assay (Winston et al, 1998;Regoli & Winston, 1999), and clastogenic or aneugenic DNA damage using the micronucleus (MN) method (Jaylet et al, 1986). Hematocrit may be affected by a variety of compounds such as metals (Vinodhini & Narayanan, 2009), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB; Rehulka & Minarik, 2004), and PAH (Jee et al, 2004), and has the potential to indicate the general health level of fish (Blaxhall, 1972;Blaxhall & Daisley, 1973;Mayer et al, 1992). Similarly, fish growth may be affected by several classes of compounds such as dioxins (Elonen et al, 1998), other aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists such as PAH (Jee et al, 2004;Carls et al, 2005Carls et al, , 2007, and compounds with an estrogenic mode of action such as 17α-ethynylestradiol (Van Den Belt et al, 2003).…”
