Analysis for liver mixed function oxidase in fish : upper Athabasca River, 1992 / by W. Lyle Lockhart et al.: R71-49/3-104E

The objective of this project was to examine MFO activity in fish collected from six sites on the upper Athabasca River, upstream and downstream of the bleached kraft pulp mill at Hinton. The fish species targeted for collection and analyses were mountain whitefish, longnose sucker, northern pike and white sucker. Two enzyme assays were applied to fish liver samples, ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH), and their activities are compared with contaminant residue levels and sex steroid hormones reported for the same fish in other NRBS projects.--Study perspective
