Juvenile crucian were treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of each compound at dosages of 0.1, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 and 8.0（or 10.0） mg/kg and sacrificed 15 d later to determine 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase（EROD） and glutathione S-transferases（GST） activities in gill S9 fractions. EROD activity is significantly increased by benzo（b）fluoranthene and indeno（1,2,3-cd）pyrene at all the doses. High dosages of PAHs induced GST activity and the inducing ability of them increased in the following order： fluorene fluorantheneindeno（1,2,3-cd）pyrenebenzo（g,h,i）perylenebenzo（b）fluoranthene. In all the cases, dose dependence appeared to exist. The gill EROD and GST in Carassius auratus are useful biomarkers to estimate sub-acute toxicity of both polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons（PAHs） and PAHs-like compounds.展开更多
