Histopathologic effects of JP-4 aviation fuel on fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas)

· Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol.; (United States)
The objective of this preliminary study using fathead minnows was to determine which tissues and organs are affected by acute exposure to the water soluble fraction (WSF) of JP-4 aviation fuel. The results suggest that the olfactory rosette and possibly the pseudobranch and gill of the fathead minnow are injured by acute exposure to WSF JP-4. These observations are in accordance with results other researchers have found studying the toxic effect of hydrocarbon fuels on teleosts. It is believed that these selected tissues should be examined when utilizing fish for environmental toxicological research involving hydrocarbons.
