Abstract:The mantle plays important role in the mechanism of oyster protection caused by environmental pollutants. This study aims to analyze the effect of water accommodated fraction of crude oil on the mantle of Slipper-Shaped Oyster (Crassostrea iredalei) at different doses and time exposure. The ventral and posterior segments of the mantle were fixed, and tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, PAS-Periodic acid–Schiff, and TEM-transmission electron microscopy techniques. HE-hematoxylin and eosin, PAS-… Show more
