Chronic exposure to crude oil has a profound affect on living organisms. These effects vary from reduced feed intake, behavioral, physiological, reproductive and pathological changes. Fish, which submerge themselves in sediment when not foraging for food are more likely to be affected than others that live in the water column. Flounders (Pleuronectidae), sediment-inhabiting fish, have been shown to be affected after exposure to oil-contaminated sediment. Two previous studies reported the effects of various concentrations of oil-contaminated sediment on winter flounder, Pleuronectes(=Pseudopleuronectes) americanus, following chronic exposure. The present study reports the histopathological changes in juvenile and adult winter flounder that survived following chronic exposure to crude oil. 7 refs., 2 figs.
