This work is a part of the ICON project that investigated different strategies to assess the health of the marine environment around the north sea. We describe an important aspect of marine health assessments, namely subcellular biomarkers for oxidative stress and PAH exposure. Fish were sampled out at sea where the levels of pollutants are relatively low. However, we were able to demonstrate minor effects of exposure. This demonstrates that subcellular biomarkers could be an important addition to the health assessment of the marine environment.
