Raised plasma vitellogenin in male wild brown trout (Salmo trutta) near a wastewater treatment plant in Ireland.
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry 2008 August
Ovotestis (intersex) and raised plasma vitellogenin in male fish are widely employed biomarkers of estrogen contamination in the aquatic environment. In the present study, these biomarkers were used to determine whether Irish rivers contain estrogenic chemicals at levels capable of affecting the reproductive health and success of exposed fish populations. A number of aquatic ecosystems were investigated (the rivers Liffey, Lee, and Bandon and the Killarney lakes). A survey of male wild brown trout (Salmo trutta) was carried out to assess the incidence of endocrine disruption in the feral fish population; no evidence of intersex was found in any of the wild fish sampled. Raised plasma vitellogenin was detected, however, in the wild brown trout downstream of a major municipal wastewater treatment plant on the river Liffey.
