Sažetak
The effect of aluminum on the planarian Polycelis felina Daly. in laboratory conditions was studied. Planarians are simple freshwater invertebrates which belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes, class Turbellaria, order Tricladida. Planarians were treated with four concentrations of aluminium sulphate (25, 200, 600 and 1100 mg/L ; Kemika, Zagreb). Changes were observed on the fifth day after the treatment as well as on the fifth day of post-treatment recovery period. The results showed distinguished morphological changes on the planarian body as well as behavioral changes: various depigmentations, disordered locomotion, twisting of the body parts, hardly reacting to mechanical stimuli, also body contractions and mortality in the highest concenration. This work should also involve histomorphometrical analysis, showing if, how and where aluminum affected, and could be deposited in the planarian cells and tissue.
