19819475 van Oosterom J, Codi King S, Negri A, Humphrey C, Mondon J: Investigation of the mud crab (Scylla serrata) as a potential bio-monitoring species for tropical coastal marine environments of Australia. Mar Pollut Bull. 2010 Feb;60(2):283-90. Epub 2009 Oct 12.

Four biomarkers; glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity, cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition and the urinary metabolite concentrations of naphthalene (NPH) and benzo-a-pyrene (BaP) were evaluated in S. serrata hepatopancreas, haemolymph and urine.

18688734 Pathiratne A, Chandrasekera LW, Pathiratne KA: Use of biomarkers in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to assess the impacts of pollution in Bolgoda Lake, an urban water body in Sri Lanka. Environ Monit Assess. 2009 Sep;156(1-4):361-75. Epub 2008 Aug 8.

The fish were collected from the lake in the dry period (April 2005) and wet periods (September 2005, October 2006) and the levels of biomarkers viz. hepatic ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), metallothioneins, biliary fluorescent aromatic compounds, brain and muscle cholinesterases (ChE) were compared with those of the laboratory reared control fish and the fish obtained from a less polluted water body, Bathalagoda reservoir (reference site).
Analysis of bile in the lake fish revealed recent uptake of naphthalene, pyrene and benzo (a) pyrene type polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
