Monocrotophos has been shown to exert estrogenic effects on teleosts. However, it has not been determined whether monocrotophos itself is the component that is responsible for exerting these estrogenic activities. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the estrogenic effects of monocrotophos standard in male goldfish (Carassius auratus), after a 21-day semi-static toxicity test. The induction of vitellogenin synthesis in males exposed to monocrotophos was confirmed with qualitative and quantitative methods. The observed increase in endogenous estrogen levels in males exposed to monocrotophos might explain the induction of vitellogenin. Moreover, we observed a decreased gonadosomatic index, ultrastructure damage of sperm and Sertoli cells, and several alterative testicular enzyme activities in males exposed to monocrotophos, which possibly affect spermatogenesis and male fertility. Our study showed the potential estrogenic effects of monocrotophos standard may act via the induction of vitellogenin synthesis and alteration of testicular ultrastructure and function in male goldfish.

An interesting feature of the goldfish liver is the morphology of the hepatic plate, which is always formed by a two-cell layer of hepatocytes. Hepatic plates of the goldfish liver contain an infrequently seen second type of cell, in the centers of plates between two hepatocytes. A TEH study by Yamamoto (1) demonstrated ultrastructural differences between hepatocytes and centrally located cells in hepatic plates; the latter were classified as ductule cells of the biliary system. None of the previous studies clearly showed a three-dimensional organization of the two cell types described. In the present investigation we utilize SEM to elucidate the arrangement of hepatocytes and bile ductular cells in intralobular plates of goldfish liver.Livers from young goldfish (Carassius auratus), about 6-10 cm, fed commercial fish food were used for this study. Hepatic samples were fixed in 4% buffered paraformaldehyde, cut into pieces, fractured, osmicated, CPD, mounted Au-Pd coated, and viewed by SEM at 17-20 kV. Our observations were confined to the ultrastructure of biliary passages within intralobular plates, ductule cells, and hepatocytes.
