It depends on the type of pollutants you are interested in. Toxins check for papers on fish LD50, for endocrine disruptors check vitellogenin induction and sex ratios etc, for heavy metals check metallothionein induction, pathogens check inflammatory markers such as the interleukins, COX and iNOS.
Best if you can specify the pollutants that you are interested in as there are hundreds of reviews on the topic.
I know, but I wanted a comprehensive and complete information about subject. Most information are sparse.
Milad,
I can highly recommend this book listed below. It has a good amount of the type of information you are seeking. There are likely very few, if any, review papers that would cover basic methods for evaluating toxic responses in fish. As Edmund suggested, there are some papers that deal with specific topics, but it appears that you would benefit from a book such as this one.
Fundamentals Of Aquatic Toxicology: Effects, Environmental Fate And Risk Assessment. Gary M. Rand. October 5, 1995 by CRC Press
Reference - 1148 Pages ISBN 9781560320913.
As it has already been pointed out, there are several review articles in that subject area. Search for the specific papers you are looking for and if not available in your institution, we can help you get them. I attach one review article, many more on request, but be a bit specific. Wish you success.
The most easy approach to know about different chemicals and their effects on living organisms, you have to test Brine shrimp Artemia species , then continue your toxicity experiment onward on target animals.
There was an envirnmental study plant of ICI in Devon studyng metal effects in fish, I remember they revealed the effects of Lead in very low concentrations.
Milad:
I want to send you one of my published paper, may be useful & cover some part of your question.
The answers above are all good ones. In addition, John Sprague's trilogy of articles in Water Research 1969-71 are still very useful. As well, my book on Microscale Testing in Aquatic Toxicology (CRC Press 1998) offers methods with small fish and fish life stages. But the "bible" in this whole area is still Rand's book 1995, mentioned above..
