a dysfunction in the liver and thyroid causing alterations<br />

in the physiology of the fish, however no mode of toxicity<br />

could be deduced.<br />

The effect on the adrenals was also examined after exposure<br />

to 100 and 500 ppm for 6 months. Fish exposed to<br />

500 ppm appeared stressed, but no mortality occurred.<br />

The cortical (corticosteroid producing) cells of the<br />

adrenals in both treated groups showed extensive<br />

hyperplasia, degranulation, involution and exhaustion. The<br />

histopathological findings showed a slight hypertrophy at<br />

100 ppm whereas at 500 ppm atrophic changes occurred.<br />

Reliability: (2) valid with restrictions<br />
