Exposure of organisms in aquatic ecosystems to chemicals which possess endocrine disrupting properties can produce numerous detrimental effects.

Furthermore, due to the potency of these chemicals, even relatively low level exposures can reduce fitness. As a result, classical exposure assays are not always practical (due to low sensitivity, speed, etc.) for conducting assessments.

In response, governmental agencies responsible for regulating such compounds are working to establish molecular approaches in order to overcome these limitations.

One potential approach is to measure...
