icadmium accumulation and histological lesion in mosquitofish (gambusia affinis) tissues following acute and chronic exposure
نویسندگان
چکیده
in this study, cadmium (cd) accumulation was studied in an experimental aquatic exposure. mosquitofish (gambusia affinis) were acutely exposed for 96 h to a high concentration of cd (12 mg/l) and were chronically exposed to a low concentration of cd(0.4 mg/l) for 30 days. cd accumulation profiles differed between the two cd exposures. the cd concentation in g. affinis tissues increased linearly during acute exposure. in contrast, chronic exposure presented a biphasic pattern of accumulation, with cd accumulation increasing until 20 days post-exposure then decreasing by the 30th day of the experiment. histopathological investigations revealed greater changes in gills, kidney and liver tissues after chronic exposure than those recorded during acute exposure. the changes in gill were characterized by epithelial lifting, total and partial lamellar fusion, epithelial necrosis as well as telangiectasis. necrosis of epithelial cells of renal tubules, glomerular contraction and reduction of bowman’s space were observed in the kidney tissue of exposed fish. the liver hepatocytes showed cytoplasmic vacuolization with lipid droplets and glycogen accumulation. desquamation of hepatic tissue, congestion of the hepatic central vein and an increase in sinusoidal space were also observed. the result showed that, although cd accumulation, following acute and chronic exposure, severely affects vital organs in mosquitofish; g. affinis adapts to continued metal accumulation. we hypothesise that this adaptation occurs through activation of a metal resistance mechanism.

متن کاملAcute toxicity of mosquitocidal compounds to young mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis.
Toxicity of Florida mosquito larvicides and adulticides to 3-5 day old Gambusia affinis was determined in the laboratory. After 24-h exposure, the larvicides, temephos, fenoxycarb and petroleum distillates had LC50 values of 5.60, 1.05 and 593.4 ppm, respectively. After 24 h the adulticides resmethrin, fenthion, naled and malathion had LC50 values of 0.007, 2.94, 3.50 and 12.68 ppm, respectivel...

Trophic plasticity and fine-grained resource variation in populations of western mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis
Hypothesis: Fish will exhibit morphological plasticity in response to how (food type: live vs. attached food) and where (orientation: surface, mid-water, benthic) they are fed. Fine-grained resource variation (daily rotation of orientations) will produce intermediate morphologies. Population differences will reflect responses to both predators and resources. Organism: Offspring from two populat...
متن کاملPersonality traits and dispersal tendency in the invasive mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis).
Ecological invasions, where non-native species spread to new areas, grow to high densities and have large, negative impacts on ecological communities, are a major worldwide problem. Recent studies suggest that one of the key mechanisms influencing invasion dynamics is personality-dependent dispersal: the tendency for dispersers to have a different personality type than the average from a source...
