Erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities and leucocyte profiles of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) exposed to polluted seawater

Close to industrial activity and a major seaport in the Gulf of Thailand, Sichang Island has frequently suffered from pollution and oil spills. However, the environmental health status of the surrounding waters is relatively unknown. Between December 2017 and January 2018, we reared ninety Asian sea...
