Abstract

PERKINS et al.1 suggest that the apparent increase of epidermal lesions in the flatfish of the north-east Irish Sea during 1971 may be associated with pollutants, particularly polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). They suggest that the simultaneous increase of lymphocystis, fin damage and ulcers represents an abnormal situation that may have resulted from the increased dumping operations carried out in the Irish Sea over the past few years.
