We therefore investigated the accumulation and elimination of ENR in the liver of juvenile black seabream Acanthopagrus schlegelii. Meanwhile, the dynamic alterations of biochemical parameters and liver transcriptomes after short-term bath immersion and withdrawal treatment were explored. The results indicated that the contents of ENR in the liver were significantly increased after bath administration for 24 h, and then quickly declined to very low concentrations along with the decontamination time increasing. Judging from the changes in biochemical indicators and liver transcriptomic alterations, 0.5 and 1 mg/L ENR exposure for 24 h triggered oxidative stress, impairment of immune system, as well as aberrant lipid metabolism via differential molecular pathways. Interestingly, biochemical and transcriptome analysis as well as integrated biomarker response (IBR) values showed that more significant changes appeared in 1 mg/L ENR group at decontamination periods, which indicated that the impact of high dose ENR on juvenile A. schlegelii may persist even after depuration for 7 days. These results revealed that the risk of short-term bath of 1 mg/L ENR should not be overlooked even after depuration period. Therefore, attention should be paid to the dosage control when administering the drug to juvenile A. schlegelii, and the restoration of physiological disturbance may be an important factor in formulating a reasonable treatment plan.
