Fish Fertility Potential Assays, DeSoto Canyon, 2012

Impacts of oil exposure on fertility potential of affected organisms can allow us to answer questions regarding serious reproductive impairment. Several reproductive hormones were used to establish exposure level impacts on targeted fish species. Enzyme linked immunoassays were performed on blood serum samples-concentrations of hormones and are reported as pg/mL of serum.

探究石油暴露对受影响生物体生育潜能的影响，可为解答严重生殖损伤相关问题提供依据。本研究选用多种生殖激素，旨在明确石油暴露水平对目标鱼类物种的影响效应。针对血清样本开展酶联免疫吸附试验（Enzyme Linked Immunoassay）以检测激素浓度，检测结果以pg/mL为单位进行报告。
