Liver anomalies in dab Limanda limanda from the southern North Sea with special consideration given to neoplastic lesions
ثبت نشده
چکیده
During 3 research cruises in the southern North Sea between 1986 and 1988 dab Limanda l imanda L. were examined for liver anomalies. Macroscopic and microscopic descriptions include different color irregularities and neoplastic changes. The frequency of the various liver lesions observed were calculated, the influence of fish length, sex, and season on their occurrence studied, and their geographical distribution was documented. It is discussed whether examination of dab livers is a suitable additional method in biologcal effect monitoring programs.

Spatial distribution of polyfluoroalkyl compounds in dab (Limanda limanda) bile fluids from Iceland and the North Sea.
The spatial distribution of polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) was investigated in dab (Limanda limanda) bile fluids collected from Iceland and the North Sea. Concentrations of various PFCs, including perfluorinated sulfonates (C(4)-C(6), C(8) PFSAs), perfluorinated carboxylic acids (C(9)-C(14) PFCAs) and n-methyl perfluorooctane sulfonamidoethanol (MeFOSE), were quantified. Perfluorooctane sulfo...

During a survey from 26 August through 13 September 1991, specimens of the flatfish, Limanda limanda (dab), and the asteroid echinoderm Asterias rubens (seastar), were collected at sampling locations along transects radiating into the North Sea from the coastal zone of The Netherlands. In homogenates of liver tissue from male dab and the digestive gland (pyloric caeca) of female seastar, DNA da...
متن کاملDNA damage in dab (Limanda limanda) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) from European seas.
Dab (Limanda limanda) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) were collected from coastal and offshore locations in the Baltic (dab only), North Sea (haddock from one location only) and Iceland. Blood was analysed for DNA strand breaks using the comet assay and liver samples for DNA adduct concentrations. DNA strand breaks were at background levels in dab from the two Iceland locations and from ...
متن کاملSalinity gradient shapes distance decay of similarity among parasite communities in three marine fishes.
Published data were used to compare the distance decay of similarity in parasite communities of three marine fish hosts: Atlantic cod Gadus morhua, the dab Limanda limanda and the flounder Platichthys flesus in two adjacent areas that differ with respect to the strength of a salinity gradient. In the Baltic Sea, which exhibits a strong salinity gradient from its connection with the North Sea in...
متن کاملThe histopathology and ultrastructure of steatitis affecting common dab Limanda limanda.
This study presents a new description, based on histopathological and ultrastructural studies, of a disease affecting the common dab Limanda limanda (L.). The condition can be recognised by the presence of multiple orange or yellow lesions in the pterygophorial region of the fish. The principal histopathological features are necrosis of fat cells, extensive macrophage infiltration leading to th...
