Fig. 8From: The organophosphate pesticide -OP- malathion inducing thyroidal disruptions and failures in the metamorphosis of the Senegalese sole, Solea senegalensis(a to d) Histological sections of the Senegalese sole larvae at 30 dph, showing the different retinal layers from controls (a), and from 1.56 (b), 3.12 (c) and 6.25 (d) μg/L malathion exposed organisms. Note reduction in size as well as in thickness of the pigmentary epithelium; e Changes in pigmentary layer thickness (μm) in response to the different treatments; Eye size corrected for total body length of larvae at 20 (f) and 30 (g) dph; Changes in the longest eye diameter at 20 (h) and 30 (i) dph in response to the different treatments. Different letters indicate statistically significative differences between treatments. (* = P < 0.05; ** = P < 0.01). Scalebar represents 100 μmBack to article page
