“…The FF detection of PAH metabolites in bile is a semi-quantitative method of detecting exposure to PAHs (9). According to several previous studies, the FF method is fast, practical, and usually indicates the extent of exposure sufficiently well for biomonitoring purposes (10)(11)(12)(13)(14). Furthermore, Aas et al (9) reported that the simplicity of the method makes it an alternative to both high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analyses to measure PAH exposure in a large number of fish at a low cost.…”

The seasonal and inter-gender variability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolites in the bile of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was investigated with a field study in Karakaya Dam Lake (KDL) and a laboratory-conducted study with the fish samples of KDL and Sultansuyu Dam Lake (Turkey). The KDL has been polluted by urban, industrial, and agricultural activities for many years. A seasonal trend was seen in PAH metabolite levels with higher levels detected in May 2005 samples in KDL. Their levels in the bile of fish were not found to be related to sex which showed that gender is not a confounding factor on PAH uptake. The results showed significant decreases in bile metabolite levels in the KDL fish by approximately 75% versus increases in the SDL fish after acclimation at laboratory conditions. These results supported that PAH metabolites in bile were not stable and short-term differences in living conditions may lead to great differences in their levels. Moreover, these rapid changes in bile metabolites with acclimation may also indicate that dam lakes were not badly polluted with PAHs and the feeding status of fish should be taken into consideration when using bile metabolites as biomarkers.

“…It stands out not only for its environmental heterogeneity, with sandy beaches, rocky reefs, mangrove forests and many inflowing rivers, but also for its location, surrounded by one of the most urbanized areas of Brazil, inhabited by 11 million people (IBGE, 2015). As a consequence, Guanabara Bay has progressively become, throughout the years, one of the most eutrophic ecosystems in the world (Guenther et al, 2008), functioning as a final receiver of high loads of both domestic and industrial non-treated effluents, that have been significantly changing its physical and chemical conditions and thus, adversely affecting habitats and organisms integrity (Jablonski et al, 2006;Neves et al, 2007;Seixas et al, 2013).…”

ABSTRACT. Rocky reefs are one of the most important biotopes in Guanabara Bay due to their broad distribution and high species diversity. This study aimed to describe the composition and structure of the fish assemblage associated with rocky reefs in Vermelha Beach (RJ/Brazil), an estuarine-marine transitional zone located at the entrance of Guanabara Bay. Fish were surveyed through underwater visual censuses, conducted by snorkeling divers along 10 m 2 -linear transects (n = 90). A total of 2.487 fishes were recorded belonging to 29 species in 18 families. Except for Atherinella brasiliensis, all other species are intimately associated with rocky reefs. The present work also stresses the importance of further studies to evaluate the role of periodic influences of estuarine and oceanic waters as structuring factors of the fish assemblages associated with rocky reefs at Vermelha Beach and similar ecosystems.

“…Thus, we want to look for the potential alternative method; PAHs metabolite fluorescence intensity measurement by Fixed wavelength fluorescence (FF). This method have been used in some studied (Beyer et al, 2010;Neves et al, 2007) because of its quite simple, fast, reliable, and non expensive.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of fluorescence intensity measurement of PAH metabolites in fish bile (by Fixed Wavelength Fluorescence, FF) to study and assess PAHs contamination in aquatic organism. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was exposed to benzene, fluorene, anthracene, chrysene, and benzo[a]pyrene at non-lethal concentrations. The results showed that the fluorescence intensity and EROD activity were significantly increased with increase in exposure times and PAH concentrations. Moreover, the results of both methods had significantly positive relation. The maximum values were reached in 16 day after exposure. Thus, fluorescence intensity measurement by FF technique could be used as a potential tool for environmental study in the case of PAHs contamination in aquatic environment.
