Context of the study
A number of anthropogenic chemicals are known to have the potential to disrupt the vitellogenin production in vertebrates. Male fish e.g. are known to produce this protein when exposed to xeno-estrogens (case study in eels). Little is know however about the potential effects of such endocrine disrupting compounds on the vitellin production of invertebrates.
