The characterization of γH2AX and p53 as biomarkers of genotoxic stress in a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) brain cell line
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)Rainbow trout cell cultures were exposed to three genotoxicants and examined for effects on γH2AX and p53 levels by western blotting and on cell viability using the indicator dyes Alamar Blue (AB) for energy metabolism and ... -
In Vivo Detection of Trace Organic Contaminants in Fish Using Solid Phase Microextraction
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-21)The feasibility of using solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) as an in vivo sampling tool for analysis of trace environmental contaminants in fish exposed to municipal wastewater effluents (MWWEs) was validated using ... -
Local and landscape drivers of aquatic biodiversity in urban stormwater management facilities
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-20)Stormwater management facilities (SWMFs) are often constructed in urban areas to provide flood mitigation and runoff control, and thus replace some wetland functions. Yet, their suitability as habitat for wetland biota is ... -
Stress-Immune-Growth Interactions in Fish: Mechanisms and Nutritional Modulation
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-13)The primary adaptive organismal response to stress involves the activation of the hypothalamic-sympathetic-chromaffin cell (HSC) axis leading to rapid secretion of catecholamines, predominantly epinephrine. The ...
