英文摘要:
This work aimed to evaluate the use of Mugil curema as a biomonitor for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) bioavailability. Fish biliary metabolites from low-contaminated (Canan�ia) and contaminated (Santos) Brazilian estuaries were analysed using a high-performance liquid chromatography apparatus coupled to fluorescence detectors connected in a series. In the Canan�ia and Santos estuaries, total metabolite levels ranged from 0.85 to 34.4�μg�g−�1of bile and from 4.06 to 528�μg�g−�1of bile, respectively. Metabolite levels were not influenced by feeding status or sexual hormones (p�<�0.05), thus suggesting that M. curema is a good biomonitor for PAH bioavailability. In estuarine regions, it is possible to sample both the male and female genders of this species in any reproductive period. � 2016 Elsevier Ltd
