LABORATORY INVESTIGATION ON SALINITY TOLERANCE TO Barbodes gonionotus ( Bleeker )
نویسندگان
چکیده
Salinity tolerance to Thai silver barb, Barbodes gonionotus was investigated under laboratory conditions using common salt (NaCl) and sea water. With a view to determine the median lethal concentrations (LC50 values), the fish were exposed to various concentrations of the salt and sea water for a period of 96. Common salt up to a concentration of 12 ppt and sea water up to a concentration of 10 ppt did not cause mortality to the experimental fish. The LC50 values for 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h, and 96 hexposure times were 17.91 ppt, 16.91 ppt, 15.35 ppt, 14.51 ppt and 13.92 ppt common salt, respectively. During experiment action with sea water, the LC50 values obtained were 15.02 ppt, 14.18 ppt, 13.48 ppt, 12.61 ppt, 12.35 ppt and 12.25 ppt for 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h exposure times, respectively, On the other hand, pre-exposure acclimation in modifying the acute lethal toxicity of the salt showed, a concentration of 18 ppt salt killed all the fish within 4 days, indicating that gradual increases in salinity increases the salt tolerance of B. gonionotus.

The effects of humic acid and water hardness on acute cadmium toxicity and accumulation were determined, using Puntius gonionotus Bleeker. The toxicities were expressed as the median lethal concentration (LC50) and the 96-h LC50 value of cadmium was 2.30 mg/L. Three different types of water hardness were used: soft, moderately-hard and hard, with total hardness concentrations of 55, 113, and 22...

Abstract. A seasonal investigation of the occurrence of metacercariae in cyprinoid fish was conducted at the Kwae Noi Bamroongdan Dam, Phitsanulok Province, northern Thailand during December 2008-August 2009. A total 361 cyprinoid fish from 10 species were examined by artificial digestion method evaluating for metacercariae. The metacercariae determined were Haplorchis taichui, Haplorchis pumil...
