Abstract

Histopathological changes in sea bass, Lates calucarifer continuously exposed to water soluble fraction (WSF.) of light Arabian crude oil at the concentrations of 0.11, 0.23 and 0.46 mg/l for 8 weeks were studied. Edema, hyperplasia and telangiecstasis of secondary lamellae were the common lesions observed in gills of sea bass exposed to all concentrations of WSE. of crude oil. There was a substantial increased in the number of mucous cells in the olfactory mucosa along the periphery of the olfactory lamellae at the highest concentrations of WSF. Fatty degeneration was commonly found in the livers and the severity was correlated to the concentrations and the exposure times to WSF. Of crude oil.
