Abstract
⺠Sediment-bound contaminant mixtures can yield unexpected biomarker responses in fish. ⺠Biomarkers reflecting lesions are sturdier predictors of pollution by mixed xenobiotics. ⺠Proteomics and gene transcription analyses disclosed the existence of complex patterns of response to toxicity. ⺠Laboratory bioassays are less impacted by noise variables but tend to lose ecological relevance.
