| Popis: | International audience; Aim of this study was to determine the extent of pollution in the West Black Sea Coast of Turkey by measuring CYP1A associated EROD activity, phase II enzyme, glutathione S-transferase and antioxidant enzymes, catalase and glutathione reductase activities and immunochemical detection of CYP1A protein level in the liver of mullet. The fish samples were caught from six locations having a varying degree of pollution in the West Black Sea Region of Turkey in August 2005, 2006 and 2007. Mullets caught from Zonguldak Harbour, Ereğli Harbour and Gülüç Stream's Mouth displayed 6-9 fold higher EROD, 2-4 fold higher glutathione S-transferase and 2-3 fold higher catalase activities than the reference site, Amasra. Total polyaromatic hydrocarbon levels in mullets caught from these locations were also significantly higher (2-4 fold) than Amasra. The results of this study indicate that Zonguldak Harbour, Ereğli Harbour and Gülüç Stream are highly polluted by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and related contaminants. |
