Abstract
This document describes methods to analyse the protein metallothionein in fish tissues. Metallothionein is induced by and binds essential (Cu, Zn) and non-essential (Cd, Hg) metals and is used in monitoring programmes as a marker for environmental metal exposure. The main focus is on the use and development of immunochemical procedures (ELISA). In addition, two alternative methods, electrochemical and spectrophotometric, are described......
