Abstract
⺠An ELISA test was developed to evaluate vitellogenin and lipovitellin on prawn. ⺠Prawn vitellogenin and lipovitellin levels correlate with ovarian maturation. ⺠Exposure to hydrocarbon pollution increase vitellogenin level in mature females. ⺠VTG levels in M. borellii are upregulated and highly sensitive to WSF exposure. ⺠This crustacean assay is a potential biomarker for freshwater hydrocarbon pollution.
