2. Relative induction of biochemical biomarkers of exposure in adult zebrafish tissues
Table S6. Relative biochemical biomarker activity in brain, liver and gills of adult zebrafish after short- (3 d) and long-term (21 d) exposure to WAF dilutions of NNS crude oil. Fish were exposed to WAF dilutions of crude oil only (WAFOIL) and chemically dispersed (FINASOL OSR 52) crude oil (WAFOIL+D). Data represent the mean relative induction (IF) of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and catalase (CAT) in tissue homogenates of 4 replicates per treatment (1 replicate = pool of 3 individual tissues) compared to unexposed control with standard deviation.
