Abstract The present study was carried out experimentally on (220) marine fish Mugil seheli (sehlaia) .The fish were acclimated for one week, then subjected to different concentration of water-soluble fractions of (l %, 5% and 100/0). The study revealed abnormal behavior such as rapid movement of gill operculum, abnormal swimming, fin and tail rot and twisting of vertebral column were appeared after one month. The internal organs of Mugil seheli examined showing erosion and sloughing of gills, congestion and hepatomegally. While, the gall bladder appeared enlarged and filled with oily liquid, congestion or spleen, enlarged with congestion and diffuse hemorrhage of heart and kidney but the intestine was filled with black DROPlets or oil .Thc histopathological examination showed that, the gills were congested and hemorrhage occur with epithelial desquamation of the secondary lamellae and mononuclear cell infiltration. The liver showed parenchymal edema and hemorrhage. Most of hepatic cells were necrotic. The intestine revealed mucinous degeneration .and focal desquamation in their epithelium together with edema and hemorrhage. Some leukocytic infiltration in the lamina propria and submucosa were observed. The kidneys exhibited marked tubular nephrosis.The muscle revealed interamusclar edema,congestion ,hyaline degeneration and zenker’s necrosis at long exposure to water- soluble fractions. Mugil seheli after exposed to 1 % water- soluble fraction of crude oil for three months and their no dectectable ectoparasite. Oil pollution was highly toxic effect on Mugi! schcli where, the mortality percent reach to (I OO(Yo) even at low concentration ( 20%) through 8 hours in absence of oxygen. While, in presence of oxygen the mortality percent was (0%,10% ,40% ,60% and 100%) at 0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% water- soluble fractions concentrations respectively.
