ABSTRACT
Fish liver histopathology is an important biological impact that is monitored near the terminus of the Barbers Point Ocean Outfall. In 1997 gross necropsy and fish liver histopathology were conducted on 10 live specimens each of three different fish species: Selar crumenophthalmus, Myripristis spp., and Lutjanus kasmira. Gross evidence of neoplasia was not found in the integument or in the liver of the 30 fish evaluated.
