Immunochemical analysis using indirect ELISA of oogenic proteins in plasma of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to different concentrations of oil refinery treatment plant (ORTP) effluent. Proteins were detected with homologous antisera against Atlantic salmon zona radiata proteins (Zr-protein) and vitellogenin (Vtg). Data are given as mean ELISA absorbance values (492 nm) ± SD (n = 6 per treatment group). Data were analyzed using Dunnett's tests for comparison with control group. *Significantly different from control (p < 0.001). Reproduced with permission from Arukwe et al. [113].
