“…In medaka and guppy exposed to the insecticide lindane (B-hexachlorocyclohexane), an estrogenic effect was seen by both the development of intersex fish and the induction of vitellogenesis (210,211). A pronounced increase in plasma vitellogenin was also seen in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri) fed a soya bean meal with estrogenic isoflavones and derivatives (149). Sex reversal and hermaphroditism was also in rainbow trout exposed to MNNG (88), although the hormonal mechanism was not determined.…”

Dr. Bunton's primary research interest is on mechanisms of toxicity and carcinogenesis in fish related to environmental contamination and on the development of alternative models.Experimental carcinogenesis using fish species as alternative models is a dynamic field of research. The 1940's expansion of synthetic chemical producing industries coincided with a number of pollution-associated fish neoplasia epizootics, with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as significant components of contaminated sediment in several cases. Epizootics of primarily liver and skin neoplasia in benthic species near coastal urban or industrial areas indicated the sensitivity of fish species to known mammalian carcinogens. Stressing a mechanistic approach, investigators have used data compiled from epizootics as the backbone of current research efforts to define carcinogenesis in fish species. With liver as the focus, patterns of neoplastic development similar to those seen in rodent bioassays have been induced in various fish species by genotoxic carcinogens. Similarities between fish and rodent models include chemical and species-specific responses to exposure and the development of predictable preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions. The expression of molecular molecules related to carcinogenesis is currently under investigation, which includes alterations in certain proteins, enzyme activity, and oncogene/tumor suppressor gene function. The potential for the application of research findings to both human and environmental health issues makes fish species attractive and valuable alternative models in carcinogenesis and toxicity research.Keywords. Medaka; methylazoxymethanol (MAM); molecular markers; N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG); Neoplasia; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH); rainbow trout INTRODUCTION Armed with data from fish neoplasia epizootics related to environmental synthetic chemical contamination, research has moved from the morphologic assessment of neoplasms to the identification of molecular mechanisms of neoplastic development and progression. The value of these studies can be argued along 2 lines that are often, but should not be, separated. One is for application to human health issues for which there is a chronic demand, and the other is the inherent value of monitoring the health of the environment, which includes all of the creatures therein. Unfortunately, it is the latter argument that most often has to be vigorously defended, although minimal reflection will reveal that we, too, are members of this population.The present review discusses experimental fish carcinogenesis by first presenting data from neoplasia epizootics that helped to form the framework of our current 604 research efforts. The effects of known direct and indirect carcinogens on various fish species from laboratory studies are then described to illustrate species similarities and differences in tissue response. The latter portion of the paper concentrates on chemical hepatocarcinogenesis and reviews the histologic and molecular marke...

“…Pelissero et al [28] observed that both a commercial and a soya-based synthetic diet stimulated significant levels of plasma VTG in Siberian sturgeon compared with a diet based on casein. Other species of fish have also been shown to experience diet-induced increases in the plasma VTG concentration, caused by sex steroids and/or phytoestrogens in the diet, including tilapia [10], goldfish [29,30], medaka [31], and carp [32].…”

Abstract-Vitellogenin (VTG) is a precursor of egg-yolk protein and is therefore present at high concentrations in the plasma of female fish. In male fish, VTG concentrations are usually undetectable or low, but can be induced upon exposure to oestrogenic substances either via the water or the diet. This work was carried out to determine the reason for apparently elevated VTG concentrations in unexposed stock male fathead minnow maintained in our laboratory. The results showed clearly that some of the food given to the fish was oestrogenic and that replacement of this with non-oestrogenic food led to a significant reduction in the basal VTG levels measured in male fish after a 6 month period. This reduction in male VTG concentrations drastically increased the sensitivity of the VTG test in further studies carried out with these fish. Moreover, a review of published concentrations of VTG in unexposed male fathead minnow suggests that this problem may exist in other laboratories. The fathead minnow is a standard ecotoxicological fish test species and so these findings will be of interest to any laboratory carrying out fish tests on endocrine disrupting chemicals.
