Notes:
Serum osmolalities and chloride concentrations were examined in polar cod. When exposed to oil male and female fish responded differently. Ingestion of food contaminated with oil led to a significant decrease in osmolality (from 503 to 492 mOsm kg−1) in males. There was no significant effect of oil ingestion on serum osmolality in females, but chloride concentrations were increased (from 196 to 203 mmol kg−1). Gender related responses should, therefore, be considered when assessing the possible effects of environmental pollutants on fish physiology.
