Environmental monitoring and risk assessment approaches which include a more holistic
view on the effects of pollutants on biota are increasingly sought by regulators and policy …

At four different aquatic sites in Flanders (Belgium) with different types and degrees of
contamination, juvenile carp (Cyprinus carpio) were exposed in cages for 4 weeks. After …

Environmental risk assessment in aquatic ecosystems typically uses biomarkers to detect
interactions between potential hazards and biological systems. Next to knowing …

This work was an attempt to investigate cadmium bioaccumulation in the carp (Cyprinus
carpio) during simulated pollution. The fish, weighing 100 g, were kept for 140 days in a …

Metal body burden (BB) was analyzed in three groups of organisms evaluated as sentinel
monitors of metal exposure. The study site was a lotic system of moderate gradient that …

The impact of long-term exposure to waterborne cadmium (Cd) on Cyprinus carpio was
evaluated through changes of selected parameters considered as biomarkers of toxicity …

In the present study the impact of environmental metal contamination in gibel carp
(Carassius auratus gibelio) was investigated coupling disturbances in subcellular metal …

Metal accumulation and effects on plasma Ca2+, alanine transaminase (ALT) and fish
condition factor were examined in caged carp (Cyprinus carpio) and resident roach (Rutilus …

Given the inherent variability of aquatic systems, predicting the in situ effects of contaminants
on such ecosystems still represents a major challenge for ecotoxicology. In this context …

Metal pollution is a global problem which represents a growing threat to the environment.
Because of bioaccumulation and negative effects of heavy metals, their bioavailability needs …
