TI  - Evaluation of the Health Status of the Silverside (Odontesthes bonariensis) at a 
      RAMSAR Site in South America.

AB  - The objective of this work was to evaluate the health status of an economic and 
      ecologically important fish species from Mar Chiquita Lake, a RAMSAR site located 
      in Cordoba, Argentina, relative to the levels of selected persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) in lake water and fish tissues. Odontesthes bonariensis was 
      used as a model species, and its health was estimated by means of histological 
      indices in gills and liver. Sampling was performed according to rainy and dry 
      seasons (i.e. dry, rainy and post-rainy). Gill and liver histopathology were 
      evaluated by semi-quantitative indices and morphometric analysis. Although 
      epithelial lifting in gills and lipid degeneration in liver were frequently 
      registered, they are considered as reversible if environmental conditions 
      improve. During rainy and post-rainy seasons fish presented significantly higher 
      scores of liver and total indices. These higher index scores were correlated with 
      increased levels of POPs in gill and liver tissue. Therefore, preventive measures 
      are needed to mitigate the entry of these compounds into the lake.
