Japanese common goby

Recently, we developed sandwich ELISAs for each of the two distinct Vgs (Vg-530 and Vg-320) of the Japanese common goby (A. flavimanus) and used the two Vg assays to survey, for the first time, the impact of environmental estrogens on production of more than one distinct Vg molecule by a fish species146,147. These field studies were conducted in various coastal waters of Japan. The Japanese common goby is a suitable model species for monitoring chemical pollutants in coastal waters because of their broad distribution in brackish water and seawater environments...
