Abstract
Flounder, Platichthys flesus L., were exposed to polluted harbour sludge, or to sludge wash-off in mesocosms for three years. Towards the end the study, a pilot experiment was initiated in which flounder antibodies against lymphocystis disease virus were measured in fish held in the mesocosms for 2·5 or 3 years. Although both the sub-sample sizes and number of fish with detectable antibody were small, it was found that between the two sampling periods there was a significant reduction in the number of antibody-positive fish in the mesocosm containing polluted harbour sludge, compared to fish in the mesocosm containing sludge wash-off, or a control mesocosm. The significance of that finding is discussed.
