Abstract
A comparison of ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) data collected in 1995 in various sites in the Rhône watershed (France) was carried out to quantify the influence of factors such as contamination and biological parameters on EROD levels and within-group variabilities. Three species of cyprinids were collected and fish chemical contamination was measured. A log transformation of EROD data provided both normalization and homogeneity of variances. The influence of female sexual maturation on the variability and EROD dimorphism was quantified. A relationship with contaminant bioaccumulation was observed. A comparison with EROD data collected during previous studies by the same laboratory was made to validate the results.Mesh:
