This field study investigates the morphological indices (condition index, hepatosomatic index) and biochemical (catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferase (GST), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), metallothionein (MT), lipid peroxidation) parameters in liver, gills and kidney of common sole (Solea solea) originating from different sites of the Tunisian coast area impacted by different anthropogenic activities. Differences among sites and tissues for AChE, GST, CAT, MT and TBARS were found and possibly related to known sources of domestic and industrial discharges in the studied sites. Liver, gills and kidney CAT, liver and kidney MT and brain AChE were key biomarkers to discriminate fish of different sites. So, we suggest using these biomarkers in future biomonitoring.
本现场研究调查了来自突尼斯沿海地区不同受人类活动影响地点的普通比目鱼(Solea solea)的肝脏、鳃和肾脏中的形态指标(状况指数、肝体指数)和生化参数(过氧化氢酶 (CAT)、谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶 (GST)、乙酰胆碱酯酶 (AChE)、金属硫蛋白 (MT)、脂质过氧化)。发现不同地点和组织之间的 AChE、GST、CAT、MT 和 TBARS 存在差异,这可能与研究地点已知的生活和工业排放源有关。肝脏、鳃和肾脏的 CAT、肝脏和肾脏的 MT 和大脑的 AChE 是区分不同地点鱼类的关键生物标志物。因此,我们建议在未来的生物监测中使用这些生物标志物。
