Summary-1 • In 2004 the concentration of 24 PAHs in flesh was higher in anchovy than in hake. Negative correlation between PAHs concentration and length in hake. • There were no differences in anchovy between years 2004 and 2005 in EROD activity and in LP. The volume density of Peroxisomas and AOX activity was decreased from 2004 to 2005. Could indicate recovery?? • - Prevalence of histopathologies in anchovydecreased from 2003 to 2004, indicating a possible recovery of their health state. High prevalence (>40% in some cases) of parasitic infestations, melanomacrophages, inflammatory reactions, necrotic foci and hepatocellular nuclear polymorphismin hake.
Summary-2 - The stereological preliminary results in 2004 show a 7.2% of atretic oocytes in hake and 0,26% in anchovy. It is necessary to check the historical series in order to test if there are significant differences between years. • In anchovy larvae, no significant differences between 2000 and 2003 in growth rate and nucleic acid analysis have been found. The somatic index differed only in the younger larvae. Different pattern of biomolecular composition before and after spill- There are no apparent differences in the annual fecundity for both species. Statistical comparative test among years and more biological parameters (size at maturity, duration of reproductive season…)are necessary to decipher whether there are differences in the reproductive capacity of populations.
