The effects of chronic exposure to the water soluble fraction of fuel oil on an antarctic fish Pagothenia borchgkevinki

1. Antarctic fish Pagothenia borchgrevinki were held for seven days in sublethal concentrations of the water soluble fraction of diesel fuel oil. 2. The fish gills produced large amounts of mucus and there was an increased frequency of coughing. 3. Haematocrit increased due to an increased number of...
