Abstract/Summary
Indicators of a generalised stress response (changes in cortisol, glucose, RNA:DNA ratio and total protein) when measured in whole-body preparations of individual sticklebacks display significant alterations in response to acute (hours) and chronic (days) disturbances and food withdrawal. In addition, changes in alkali-labile phosphorous, a specific biomarker of exposure to estrogenic contaminants, can be detected in whole-body preparations of estrogen-exposed sticklebacks confirming that the measurement of biomarkers normally assessed in a specific tissue can be equally possible in whole fish.
