Description
Summary:The paper describes studies on the effect of the Kamień Pomorski crude oil on tissue respiration of eel, Anguilla anguilla (L.). The crude oil concentration of 250 mg/l was tested at 18 and 24°C, the fishes being exposed for 5 hrs and 6 days. A very considerable reduction in eel tissue respiration was observed. Under the experimental circumstances, the oxygen uptake was at its minimum and maximum in gills and liver, respectively.
