Biotransformation and genotoxic biomarkers in mullet species (Liza sp.) from a contaminated coastal lagoon (Ria de Aveiro, Portugal)

The aim of the present study was to assess liver ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity and erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities (ENA) frequency in three mullet species, as biotransformation and genotoxicity biomarkers, respectively, for monitoring aquatic ecosystems.
