Long-term exposure to high-concentration silver nanoparticles induced toxicity, fatality, bioaccumulation, and histological alteration in fish (Cyprinus carpio)

Abstract Background Currently, nanotechnology and nanoparticles have quickly emerged gained the attention of scientists due to their massive applications in environmental sectors. However, these silver potentially cause serious effects on terrestrial aquatic organisms. In current study, freshwater fish C. carpio were exposed blood-mediated for toxicity, mortality, bioaccumulation, histological alterations. Silver fabricated using animal blood serum toxic effect was studied against common carp at different concentrations levels (0.03, 0.06, 0.09 mg/L). Results The findings revealed a little influence blood-induced behavior highest concentration (0.09 bioaccumulation reported organs fish. Maximum liver, followed by intestine, gills, muscles. Furthermore, shown that led histopathological alterations; including damaged structure gill tissue caused necrosis. It is summarized alteration intestine mostly occurred Conclusion This study provides evidence life; however, further systematic studies are crucial access AgNPs life.
