Biological effects of contaminants: Measurement of DNA adducts in fish by 32P-postlabelling.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1999)
This document describes in detail the 32P-postlabelling method and its application to fish. Several recent studies have shown that the 32P-postlabelling method can be used to detect and measure the levels of DNA modified ...
Biological effects of contaminants: Use of imposex in the dogwhelk (Nucella lapillus) as a bioindicator of tributyltin pollution.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1999)
This document describes a method for detecting contamination of the marine environment by tributyltin (TBT) using a sensitive neogastropod, the dogwhelk Nucella lapillus (L.), as a bioindicator. Exposure of female N. ...
Soft bottom macrofauna: Collection, treatment, and quality assurance of samples.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1999)
The aim of these recommendations is to standardize the methods used by different scientists for benthos surveys in order to increase the comparability of results for different areas.
The results of ICES/HELCOM Quality ...
Biological effects of contaminants: Quantification of metallothionein (MT) in fish liver tissue.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1999)
This document describes methods to analyse the protein metallothionein in fish tissues. Metallothionein is induced by and binds essential (Cu, Zn) and non-essential (Cd, Hg) metals and is used in monitoring programmes as ...
