چکیده
Dar-Yl Wang and Bao-Quey Huang (1994) Effects of LAS on the membrane potential of gill epithelium in young tigerperch (Terapon jarbua). Zoological Studies 33(2): 170-173. In order to investigate the effects of LAS (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate) on gill epithelium membrane potential, young tigerperch (Terapon jarbua) , body lengths ranging between 57.5 and 67.5 rnm, were kept in different concentrations of LAS for acute toxicity study. Intracellular recording results demonstrated that membrane potential shifted from 6.7 ± 1.4 mV (n = 75) to 5.1 ± 1.1 mV (n = 63) and 3.9 ± 1.1 mV (n = 65) when the LAS concentrations were changed by 5 ppm and 10 ppm, respectively. The decreasing membrane potential results in this study imply that LAS may lead to gill epithelium depolarization.

Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus is a native, commercially important and highly steemed fish species in the Caspian Sea. In this study, effects of Nodularin (NODLN), a cyclic pentapeptide hepatotoxin, on liver and gill tissues of A. persicus were studied. Nodularin was produced in high amounts by Nodularia spumigena, a cyanobacterium species during the algal bloom in the Caspian Sea an...
