Description
Many previous studies and books have been dedicated to fundamental and developmental aspects of biomarkers. The purpose of this book is
to provide, through various case studies, an overview of the practical use of biological markers in marine animals to evaluate the health
effects of environmental contamination in marine ecosystems.
More precisely, the book presents the results obtained during the development
and application of biological markers as indicators of exposure/effect to toxic chemicals in marine environments, using diverse sentinel
species such as fish, bivalves and crustaceans. An important aspect is also the publication of technical annexes that describe in detail
the experimental procedures developed for both chemical and biochemical measurement.
Audience
For environmental chemists and toxicologists. Also, for scientists in governmental agencies who have responsibilities at both the national and international level.
