Abstract
The gross pathological and histological changes of typical examples of epidermal anomalies of Dover sole, Solea solea L., and other flatfish from the sewage dumping areas of the Thames Estuary and two ‘control’ areas are described. Five per cent of flatfish showed anomalies including trawl damage abrasions, fin‐rot, ulcers, nodules and tumours, lymphocystis and skeletal anomalies. Many of the anomalies suggested a traumatic aetiology and were often chronic. There was no significant difference in disease incidence between the areas sampled, except more evidence of lymphocystis in one of the control areas.
