“…Long-term exposure to BPA at concentration of 160 μg/L induced Vtg synthesis in male fathead minnow after 71 d [28] . We also noticed that numerous factors such as temperature, photoperiod, age, growth and reproduction had influence on organisms, and most rivers contain other substances besides OP, NP and BPA, such as natural estrogens (17β-estradiol, estrone), some kinds of PCBs and PAH that can also induce Vtg production [29,30] . Therefore, further study combining the chemical method with biological method should be conducted to identify the main estrogenic compounds and the contribution of each chemical on given water's estrogenic activity.…”

A preliminary survey of estrogenic activity of the contaminant in part of waters (Ziya River and the estuary of Haihe River) in Haihe River, Tianjin has been performed with the plasma vitellogenin (Vtg) in feral fish as a biomarker for estrogenic activity. The concentrations of bisphenol A (BPA), 4-tert-octylphenol (OP) and 4-nonylphenol (NP) in surface water were also determined. The presence of Vtg in male fish plasma as well as that in female can be detected at different sites and different seasons. The results indicate that the water in the sampling sites was contaminated by some estrogenic compounds. Although BPA, OP and NP can be detected in all of the water samples, their concentrations were much lower than the effective concentrations for those chemicals to induce Vtg production in male fish.

“…However, current data are not sufficient for us to draw a conclusion that NP or BPA is one of the main chemicals that induce Vtg synthesis in male fish, since the concentrations of NP or BPA were far below the effective concentrations to cause Vtg induction in male fish as previously reported. We also noticed that numerous factors such as temperature, photoperiod, age, growth and reproduction had influence on organisms, and most rivers contain other substances besides OP, NP and BPA, such as natural estrogens (17β-estradiol, estrone), some kinds of PCBs and PAH that can also induce Vtg production [29,30] . The 50% effective concentration (EC 50 ) values for Vtg induction got from oral administration of BPA, OP and NP on male medaka fish were 1600, 2600, 940 μg/g respectively [27] .…”

“…This will inevitably lead to marked decreases in the concentrations of NP and other oestrogenic alkylphenolic chemicals in rivers, as appears to be occurring. 30 Hence, one might anticipate that, besides the total oestrogenic activity falling, the proportion of that total activity contributed by each individual chemical will change (see, 29 for the results from some modelling of these changes). However, other countries, such as the United States, have not restricted the use of alkylphenolic surfactants, and hence their contribution to the total oestrogenic activity of U.S. effluents and rivers would not be expected to fall, as it is doing in Europe.…”

10th Anniversary Perspective: Reflections on endocrine disruption in the aquatic environment: from known knowns to unknown unknowns (and many things in between)

Endocrine disruption in the aquatic environment has been a much-researched topic worldwide for the last fifteen years. We have not attempted to write a traditional review of the topic with this paper. Instead, based on unpublished reports and our own personal memories, we provide a history of the development of endocrine disruption research in the last 30 years, since the initial, accidental discovery of intersex fish in an English river in 1978. We focus on how the key questions were tackled, and the often surprising answers to some of these questions. We cover what we now know, and what we still do not know. Based on our current understanding, we emphasize the crucial role played by interdisciplinary research in moving the issue forward. The paper concludes with a selection of general messages about chemicals in the environment which have emerged from endocrine disruption research, and how these have changed our understanding of chemicals in the environment. If lessons have been learnt, and are acted upon when the next chemical 'scare' emerges (as it inevitably will), then it should be possible to act more efficiently and effectively to better protect the environment than was achieved during the "oestrogens in the environment" era.
