  • Title: Pathomorphological changes in gills of fish fingerlings (Cirrhina mrigala) by linear alkyl benzene sulfonate.
    Author: Misra V, Lal H, Chawla G, Viswanathan PN.
    Journal: Ecotoxicol Environ Saf; 1985 Dec; 10(3):302-8. PubMed ID: 3004885.
    Abstract:
    Fish fingerlings (Cirrhina mrigala) exposed to 0.005 ppm (25% of LC50) concentration to detergents (linear alkyl benzene sulfonate) showed marked behavioral changes and distorted appearance of primary and secondary lamellae along with damage to gill epithelium under scanning electron microscopy at various magnifications. Mucosal cells of gills were found to secrete mucus showing primary reactions for membrane damage leading to dysfunction in respiration and osmoregulation.
