Fishes being the important members of the food chain in the aquatic ecosystem they are more prone to get affected by any contaminants present in their surrounding environment. In recent years marine pollution has become a major concern throughout the world. This negatively affects fish health leading to cause abnormalities associated with different organs particularly gills, liver and kidney that are involved in various biochemical pathways of an organism. Fishes act as a pollution indicator by showing classical stress response. Histopathological studies can give us an indication of organ damage caused to the fish in order to assess the health status of the fish and the extent of pollution in the marine environment. The present research work aims at studying histopathological changes in liver, gill, and kidney of commonly consumed fish Harpodon nehereus collected from Sassoon dock, West Coast of Maharashtra, India. Structural alterations were noted in all the selected tissues of Harpodon nehereus indicating that the selected fish is under high risk of pollution stress.
