title: Acetylcholinesterase and ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase in the surgeonfish Acanthurus bahianus around Martinique Island (French West Indies).
abstract: Abstract The biochemical indicators of biological effects of pollutants, ethoxyresorufin-edeethylase (EROD) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), were measured in Acanthurus bahianus from 10 stations around Martinique Island (French West Indies). Strong induction of EROD was demonstrated in the bay of Fort de France in relation to organic pollution. Depression of AChE may suggest that neurotoxic compounds are having some effects along the east coast.
