The effects contaminants have on an organism have a molecular basis, and are transferred to higher levels of biological organization if the exposure is persistent and toxicological repair is overwhelmed. Long-term effects of produced water on the reproduction of Atlantic cod can, therefore, be studied at the molecular level. This project aims at utilising proteomics based techniques to study and identify possible changes in protein expression due to such exposure. We wanted to further develop proteomics based technology, i.e. 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) combined with different mass spectrometry techniques and database search, to identify mechanisms that occur due to exposure of Atlantic cod to produced water from oil and gas production. An important aim was to develop new biomarkers to be used in future biomonitoring programmes. 17 new cod specific antibodies to biomarker candidates have been developed. These are now being validated on material from laboratory experiments and field samples. (1) To identify changes in protein expression due to exposure to produced water; (2) To develop proteomics-based technology to identify mechanisms of action; (3) To develop new biomarkers to be used in future biomonitoring programmes.
