abstract

widespread use of nanosilver can be led the contamination of aquatic environment and impact on living organisms such as fishes. we investigated histopathological changes in the gills tissue of caspian roach fingerlings after two weeks exposure to sublethal concentrations of nanosilver. following one and two weeks exposure, necrosis, shortening of secondary lamellae, edema, destruction of epithelial lamella, shortening of secondary lamellae, epithelial lifting and curling of secondary lamellae were observed in gill tissues. this observation showed that exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of nanosilver is caused damages in the gill tissues of caspian roach. the results demonstrated direct correlation of gill tissue damage and toxin exposure i.e. increasing nanosilver concentration is caused more tissue damage. hence, histopathological changes of gill can considered as a proper indicator for nanosilver contamination of aquatic environments.

Sublethal effects of copper nanoparticles on the histology of gill, liver and kidney of the Caspian roach, Rutilus rutilus caspicus

The current study has determined the toxicity effects of copper nanoparticles on the some vital organs such as gill, liver and kidney of Caspian Roach; Rutillus rutillus caspicus. For this purpose, 120 fishes were used as experimental samples and exposed to 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 mg/L of Cu nanoparticles for 21 days, and 30 fishes assumed as the experiment control. The mean water temperature...

The destructive effects of Diazinon on gill tissue of Caspian roach fingerling (Rutilus caspicus)

One hundred and five fish with an average weight of 2.5 g from the aquaculture center in the port of Turkmen, Golestan province, were cached, sub-lethal test was for 1 week with 5 treated of diazinon as 0, 25, 50, 75 and 90% of LC50 (0, 0.42, 0.85, 1.28 and 1.17 ppm, respectively). The results showed that with progress of poison, gill tissue lesions will be increased such as hyperemia and hemor...

Intraoligochaete development of Myxobolus intimus (Myxosporea: Myxobolidae), a gill myxosporean of the roach (Rutilus rutilus).

The infection with Myxobolus intimus Zaika, 1965 in the gills of the roach Rutilus rutilus (L.) from Lake Balaton was recorded in 28 out of the 39 fish examined. Developing and mature plasmodia were detected on the gills exclusively in the spring. The Myxobolus intimus infection was found only in 2- to 3-year-old fish. In histological sections, young plasmodia were found in capillaries of the s...

Analysis of vitellogenin gene structure in Caspian roach, Rutilus caspicus (Pisces: Cyprinidae) during exposure to Atrazine

Chemical contamination of aquatic environments to EDCs has become a major focus of environmental toxicology research. The exposure of fishes to estrogenic EDCs in aquatic environments is most frequently assessed by analyzing Vitellogenin (Vg) (the egg yolk precursor protein) expression. Therefore, characterization of Vg gene is of high priority for EDCs bio-monitoring. So, we prepared liver tis...

Effect of dietary synbiotics on growth, immune response and body composition of Caspian roach (Rutilus rutilus)

Effects of dietary synbiotics on growth performance, survival, stress resistance, body composition and immune response in the Caspian roach (Rutilus rutilus) were evaluated. Fish with an initial average weight of 4.14±0.25 g were randomly distributed into tanks (50 fish per tank) and triplicate groups were fed a control diet or diets containing 1 g kg-1 and 2 g kg-1 synbiotics. After an ...
