ALA-D and ALA-D reactivated as biomarkers of lead contamination in the fish Prochilodus lineatus
ALA-D activity and lead concentrations were measured in blood and liver tissues of the fish Prochilodus lineatus, collected from three locations along the coast of the La Plata River, Argentina. Two of them, Berazategui and Berisso, were located nearby the main ducts that discharge the urban and dom...
