Pesticide | Concentration (μg/l)b | Average ± S.D.c | Ranged |
---|---|---|---|
Controle | 0 | 1710 ± 310 | 1.7 |
Chlorpyrifos | Solventf | 2060 ± 440 | 2.6 |
1.2 | 1960 ± 360 | 1.9 | |
7.3 | 1480 ± 560* | 4.3 | |
Esfenvalerate | Solvent | 1600 ± 430 | 2.5 |
0.01 | 1390 ± 500 | 4.2 | |
0.10 | 1460 ± 420 | 1.6 |
Juvenile Chinook salmon were exposed to the indicated concentration of pesticide for 96 h as described in Section 2. All treatment groups were statistically similar to untreated controls (P < 0.05).
Esfenvalerate concentrations are nominal values and chlorpyrifos concentrations are measured.
Relative CYP1A protein levels are the average ± the standard deviation (S.D.) for 10 fish (n = 10), except for the 7.3 μg/l chlor-pyrifos exposure (n = 8).
Range values are given as the fold difference in relative protein levels between the lowest and highest individuals.
Control fish were not exposed to either pesticides or vehicle and did not go through the experimental testing regimen.
Solvent fish were exposed to the highest concentration of vehicle (0.005% MeOH) and went through the full 96 h testing regimen.
Statistically different from the solvent-exposed salmon (P < 0.05).
