Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as naphthalene, are released into the aquatic environment and have been identified as endocrine effects on marine organisms. Naphthalene makes up the highest fraction of PAHs in oil and shows the strong toxicity to aquatic organisms. I analyzed 24h-median lethal concentration (24h-$LC_{50}$) for juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus to study the acute toxicity of naphthalene. Bioconcentrations in the gill, liver, kidney and muscle of olive flounder were analyzed after to 6 naphthalene concentrations of 0, 1000, 1800, 3200, 5600 and 10000 ${\mu}g/L$. Olive flounder has 24h-$LC_{50}$ value of 2410.76 ${\mu}g/L$ in Large group, and 2230.67 ${\mu}g/L$ in Samll group. Naphthalene concentration was varied with tissues. The concentrations of naphthalene were much higher in liver and kidney than in gill and muscle.
