Description Liza parsia were exposed to 0.05 and 0.1 ppm HgClz for 15 days. The treatments resulted in an
initial swelling (hypertrophy) of the tubular lining epithelial cells. Thereafter, in proximal segments, the
tubular epithelium became nectrotic at several places. These necrosed cells contained eosinophilic hyaline
droplets in their cytoplasm. Glomerular capillaries became more permeable and proteinaceous fluid appeared
in many Bowman's capsule. These degenerative changes were more pronounced in the fish maintained at
higher concentration of Hg. The probable interactions of heavy metal pollutant with fish immune system
has also been discussed.
