Abstract
The three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) is ideally suited to laboratory studies, while its wide distribution in the northern hemisphere gives it great potential as a sentinel organism. In the setting of a UK-wide collaboration (Fish Toxicogenomics) we have developed a microarray for transcriptomic analysis of chemical responses in populations of G. aculeatus under laboratory and field conditions. Although several EST libraries are available for this species none are from chemical-exposed fish and thus unlikely to include a full set of pollutant-responsive genes.
