Abstract
The hepatic cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase system of the marine fish plaice has been characterised by i.p. injection with chemical inducing agents, followed by measurement of a variety of monooxygenase activities. The results suggest that more than one isozyme is present in these fish. The response to oil-based drilling fluids, a major contaminant of the North Sea, has also been examined and indicates that more than one isozyme is responsive to these products.
