Benzo[a]pyrene effects on reproductive endpoints in Fundulus heteroclitus.
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been implicated in modulating aromatase enzyme function with the potential to interrupt normal reproductive function. The aim of this study was to use a fish model, Fundulus heteroclitus, to assess whether BaP exposure adversely impacts reproduction. Adult fish were exposed to waterborne BaP nominal concentrations of (0, 1...
متن کاملSemilunar Reproductive Cycles in Fundulus Heteroclitus (pisces: Cyprinodontidae) in an Area without Lunar Tidal Cycles
Although lunar spawning rhythms are relatively common in species of shallow-water fish, semilunar reproductive cycles have been reported in a small but growing number of species (Korringa 1947; Johannes 1978). Species with the best documented semilunar gonad and spawning cycles include the California grunion. LeurestMs tenuis, (Clark 1925); Atlantic silversides, Menidia menidia, (Middaugh 1981)...
متن کاملReproductive and transgenerational effects of methylmercury or Aroclor 1268 on Fundulus heteroclitus.
This research determined the potential for methylmercury or Aroclor 1268 to disrupt reproduction and sexual differentiation in Fundulus heteroclitus. The research determined whether fish that are exposed to mercury or Aroclor 1268 survive and successfully reproduce; whether offspring of exposed fish hatch, survive, produce eggs, and fertilize them; and whether the second-generation offspring of...
متن کاملReproductive Physiology of the Mummichog Fundulus heteroclitus—An Excellent Experimental Fish
© 2014 TERRAPUB, Tokyo. All rights reserved. doi:10.5047/absm.2014.00703.0079 Abstract The mummichog is a euryhaline cyprinodont fish native to North America. In this monograph, various reproductive properties, i.e. gonadal changes during ontogeny, gonadal and endocrine changes during annual and daily reproductive cycles, and environmental and endocrine control of reproduction are described. Th...
متن کاملWarm acclimation improves hypoxia tolerance in Fundulus heteroclitus.
Human activities are increasing both the frequency of hypoxic episodes and the mean temperature of aquatic ecosystems, but few studies have considered the possibility that acclimation to one of these stressors could improve the ability to cope with the other stressor. Here, we used Atlantic killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, to test this hypothesis. Hypoxia tolerance was measured as time to loss...
