Contaminants in marine organisms: Pooling strategies for monitoring mean concentrations.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1996)
Samples
of
marine
organisms
collected
for
contaminant
monitoring
are
often
pooled
before
being
chemically
analysed.
The
main
reasons
for
pooling
samples
are:
1)
to
obtain
a sufficient

Common diseases and parasites of fish in the North Atlantic: Training guide for identification.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1996)
During
the
past
20
years,
there
has
been
an
increasing
number
of
field
surveys
investigating
the
occurrence
and
distribution
of
fish
diseases
as
a tool
for

Temporal trend monitoring: Robust method for analysing contaminant trend monitoring data.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1998)
This document describes a new method of assessing contaminant trends in fish muscle, fish liver, and shellfish.
Previous methods of assessing trend data have often been complicated by the need to respond to unusual ...
Temporal trend monitoring: Contaminant levels in tissues of Atlantic cod.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1991)
The
study
of
trends
in

concentrations
in
marine
species
has
been
of
interest
to
the
International
Council
for
the
Exploration
of
the
Sea
(ICES)
since
the
early
1970s.

Biological effects of contaminants: Microplate method for measurement of ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) in fish.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1991)
Interest
in
the
use

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 ...
Biological effects of contaminants: Determination of CYP1A-dependent mono-oxygenase activity in dab by fluorimetric measurement of EROD activity.
