Suitability of using the chub (Leuciscus cephalus) as bioindicator of surface water pollution of xenoestrogenic chemicals.
Original language description
Introduction of vitellogenin (Vtg) into male fish is an important biomarker for studiing endocrine disrupting chemiclas (EDCs) with estrogenic effect in surface water ecosystem. Within Czech monitoring program the salmonids (Salminidae) were used fo r maesuring Vtg biomarker. However salmonids are not naturally present in all localities used in monitoring. A bioindicator fish aquatic pollution in Czech republic is chub (Leuciscus cephalus), which is a member of the cyprinid family (Cyprinidae). The aimof the study was to prove possibility of vitellogenin determination in blood plasma of chub (L. cephalus) using ELISA (Carp vitellogenin EIA kit, Bionsense Laboratories, Norway) and to monitor chosen localities. Sampling of trout (Salmo trutta) and chub(L. cephalus) blood was made on the same locality (upper reach of Blanice river - Czech republic). Both sexes were included. The vitellogenin concentration was measured in the trout blood plasma using a specific ELISA (Salmonidae) test. B
