Abstract
This paper reports the morphological and histochemical changes in the livers and pancreas of giltheads (Sparus auratus, L.) induced by acute action of the anionic detergent, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). Sixty -five giltheads were exposed to SDS concentrations of 5, 8.5, 10 and 1 5 mg/l. The surface tension induced at each concentration was determin ed and the LC50 calculated. Morphological changes dependent on deterge nt concentrations and length of exposure were seen. Histochemical tech niques showed alterations in carbohydrates and proteins, which may int erfere with liver and pancreas function.
