Abstract
As a result, CYP1A expression in fishes is frequently used as a biomarker of exposure to aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants and early biological effect. We determined EROD activity and cytochrome P4501A protein level in liver of feral fish, common carp, Cyprinus carpio inhabiting a nitrotoluene contaminated environment in this study. The results show that feral C. carpio caught from contaminated water(nitrotoluene)in Songhua River displayed induction of CYP1A at two levels of expression, namely, apoprotein level and catalytic activity in liver.
