Abstract
The histopathological effects of a homologous series of amphoteric surfactants, N-alkyl (C8-C18)-N, N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propane sulfonate, on the gills of common carp Cyprinus carpio were examined by light microscopy. Fish were exposed to the lethal concentration (96-h LC50) of each surfactant for 96 h. The gills exposed to C8 showed slight hypertrophy of epithelialcells and epithelial lifting of the secondary lamellae. Marked epithelial lifting was observed after the exposure to C10. In the groups exposed to C12, C14, and C16, hyperplasia between thesecondary lamellae occurred to such an extent that it led to lamellar fusion. In the gillsexposed to C18, hyperplasia was more advanced and revealed fusion of the primarylamellae. These findings suggest that the extent of gill damage induced by this homologous series of amphoteric surfactants progressively deteriorated withthe increase in the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain.
