Use of the gills of Pimelodus maculatus (Lacèpéde, 1803) (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) as a biomarker of pollution in the reservoir of UHE Marechal Mascarenhas de Moraes, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Use of the gills of Pimelodus maculatus (Lacèpéde, 1803) (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) as a biomarker of pollution in the reservoir of UHE Marechal Mascarenhas de Moraes, Minas Gerais, Brazil

The gills of fish are biomarkers of environmental toxicity which are often used to assess the impacts of xenobiotics. This study aims to evaluate the contamination of the reservoir Marechal Mascarenhas de Moraes, through the estimation ofthe rate of morphological changes in the gills of Pimelodus ma...
