چکیده

Glyphosate-based herbicides are widely used in agricultural fields and are commonly applied in fish ponds to control algae and plant growth. Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., fingerlings exposed to the highest sublethal concentrations of glyphosate alone experienced an increase in cortisol levels that was similar to the value found in the stressed group. In contrast, fingerlings exposed to all glyphosate concentrations in combination with an acute stressor had significantly lower cortisol levels than those found in the stressed group in clear water, suggesting that the herbicide attenuated the cortisol response to the additional acute stressor.

The acute toxicity of Roundup, a glyphosate herbicide, to Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, was investigated with emphasis on histopathological effects. The values of 24-h, 48-h, 72-h and 96-h LC50 for young tilapia were 17.5, 17.1, 16.9 and 16.8 ppm, respectively, and those for adult tilapia were 46.9, 44.4, 40.0 and 36.8 ppm, respectively. They indicated that adult fish were more tolerant ...
