| Abstract: | This paper describes tumorlike formations in the olfactory organ of the striped mullet Mugil cephalusinhabiting polluted waters of Zapadnaya Bay (Sovetskaya Gavan' Bay, western coast of Tatar Strait). The structure of these tumorlike formations is characteristic of fibroma. The appearance of the tumors is apparently associated with carcinogenic industrial wastes and radioactive contamination of the bay. |
