Abstract

Liza parsia were exposed to HgCl2 (acute, 1.0 ppm; sublethal, 0.5 ppm) and
DDT (acute, 0.1 ppm) for 15 days. In control mullets, the liver was comprised
of polygonal hepatocytes with centrally placed nucleus. Exposures to HgCl2
and DDT induced dilation of blood sinusoids, vacuolization and granular
degeneration of hepatocytes. The complete necrosis of hepatocytes at places
(focal necrosis) and fibrosis were noticed on day 15 in the experimental fishes.
Blood sinusoids also depicted complete disorganization by close of the
experiment.
