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.
