Abstract

This study was to determine the effects of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on thyroidal hormones of Liza klunzingeri to monitoring marine pollution from northern part of Hormoz strait (Persian Gulf) in November 2011. A total of 45 individuals were collected from three estuaries (Shour-e-aval, Souro and Bustanoo) and determining the PAHs and Hormone parameters.Results showed highest total PAHs levels (22.38?0.005 ng/g) were in the fish samples and the lowest the lowest are obtained for water samples (10.30?0.88ng/g). Most of the PAH concentrations have been Fluoranthene (F) in three stations. T3 and T4 were increased in most polluted station than those of the less polluted stations. There were a positive correlation between T3 and T4 with PAHs results which T4 had significant positive correlation (P<0.05). Results shown Liza klunzingeri subjected of oil sources (Petrogenic) and fuel (Payrogenic) of polycyclic aromatic compounds in this study area.
