Splenic and renal melanomacrophage centers in shorthorn sculpins ( Myoxocephalus scorpius ) in Nuuk harbor, West Greenland
The Nuuk harbor is the largest industrial port in Greenland. It is polluted by a number of contaminants including tributyltin (TBT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Here we analyzed melanomacrophage center (MMC) responses in the spleen and kidney of shor...
