Preface
In the last twenty years, ecotoxicology has successfully established its
place as an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary science concerned
with the effects of chemicals on populations and ecosystems, thus bridg
ing the gap between biological and environmental sciences, ecology,
chemistry and traditional toxicology. In modern ecotoxicology, fish have
become the major vertebrate model, and a tremendous body of informa
tion has been accumulated. A major challenge to ecotoxicology is the
integration of this vast amount of diverse knowledge from environmental
chemistry, toxicology, ecology and general environmental sciences.
Critical selection and compilation of the most important data has thus
received increasing importance. This volume of the EXS series is de
dicated to a selection of novel trends in fish ecotoxicology and makes an
attempt to summarize our present knowledge in a series of fields of
primary ecotoxicological interest ranging from the use of (ultra)structu
ral modifications of selected cell systems as sources of biomarkers for
environmental impact over novel approaches to monitor the impact of
xenobiotics with fish in vitro systems such as primary and permanent fish
cell cultures, the importance of early life-stage tests with fish, the bio
accumulation of xenobiotics in fish, the origin of liver neoplastic lesions
in fish related to the basic architectural patterns of fish liver, immuno
chemical approaches to monitor effects in cytochrome P450-related bio
transformation, the impact of heavy metals in soft water systems, the
environmental toxicology of organotin compounds, oxidative stress in
fish by environmental pollutants, and complex contamination in field
populations to effects by estrogenic substances in aquatic systems. As
editors, we are grateful to the colleagues, who made this volume possible
by their contributions from a specialized field in fish ecotoxicology. Part
of them also kindly served as reviewers for other contributions; in addi
tion, we express our gratitude to Drs. W Ahne, H. Babich, R. Baudo,
S. Baksi, P. Bannasch, N. DiGiulio, W Klein, P. Lemaire, J. Mosello,
P. Paert, H. J. Pluta, J. D. Reis, R. B. Spies, K. Steinhauser, R. Triebskorn,
P. Weis and P. W. Wester for their valuable comments and suggestions. In
the editorial phase, the tireless assistance ofM. Behncke-Braunbeck has
helped a lot to improve the formal standards of this volume. Finally, parti
cular thanks are due to Birkhauser Publishers, namely Janine Kern and
Dr. Petra Gerlach for the excellent cooperation and their constant support
during the entire publication process.
In the final analysis, however, the editors will have to bear the blame for
any errors and mistakes. This collection of reviews has been designed to
serve as a reference not only for specialists in fish ecotoxicology, but also
for scientists and students interested in related fields of environmental
x Preface
sciences; in case we should not have been able to meet the expectations by
this broad spectrum of readers, both contributors and editors will be happy
to receive any comments that might help to further improve our under
standing the various functions fish play in modem ecotoxicology.
