Exposure of fish to biologically treated bleached‐kraft effluent. 2. Induction of hepatic cytochrome P4501A in mountain whitefish ( Prosopium williamsoni) and other species
Abstract Induction of the hepatic detoxification enzyme cytochrome P4501A has been observed in fish exposed to bleached‐kraft mill effluents (BKME). P4501A content was examined in three species of wild fish exposed to BKME in a western Canadian river as part of an extensive program that included che...
