ABSTRACT:
A sublethal assay is conducted to determine the presence of a stressor in the environment. An organism exposed to the environment is assayed for the presence of shock proteins, produced in response to environmental stress. The amount of stress protein can be quantified to give an indication of the concentration or amount of stressor, and qualified, by assay for various shock proteins, to give an indication as to the nature of the stressor. The health of an organism may be determined by the assay.
