Abstract:

Different pollutants have undesirable effects on aquatic ecosystems, detergent powder is one of the elements in the sewages so study on the effects of this factor on  aquatic animals is crucial. The aim of the present study was to investigate acute effects of detergents as potentially dangerous additive to assess mortality effects of this product on some cultured fish. Silver Carp (Hypophthalmicthys moitrix), Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) ,Goldfish (Carassius auratus) and Roach (Rutilus rutilus caspicus) were exposed to the 0, 2, 10, 20 and 40 mg L-1  of detergent powder. All experiments were done according the standard methods for 96 h  exposure. LC50 was determined by probit analysis. The 96h toxicity tests showed 100% mortality at 40 mg L-1, and no mortality was observed in 5 mg L-1  for all species. LC50 of detergent powder in Goldfish (24.6 ± 0.32 mg L-1) was higher than other species, while silver carp (16.7 mg L-1) had the lowest one.

Evaluation of Silver Nanoparticles Ecotoxicity in Silver Carp (hypophthalmicthys Molitrix) and Goldfish (carassius Auratus)

Recently, commercial nanometer sized silver is extensively used for its antibacterial effect; however, nanoparticles may also have ecotoxicological effects after being discharged into aquatic ecosystems. Nanometer sized silver can flow into water ecosystems, where it can exert a variety of physiologically effects in aquatic animals, including fish. The current research aimed to examine the effe...

Detection of lethal concentration (LC50) of diazinon in Silver Carp (Hypophthalmicthys molitrix) and Roach (Rutilus rutilus)

Aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diazinon toxicity (LC50) on silver carp and roach fry for measuring resistnce of these fishes. Roach with an average weight of 7 ± 1 g and silver carp 30 ± 1 g were studied to measuring lethal concentration LC50 at 96 hours. Experiment was used with a completely randomized design in 9 treatments and 3 replications for both silver carp and roach. ...

Acute Toxicity and Behavioral Changes Associated with Diazinon in Rutilus rutilus caspicus and Hypophthalmicthys molitrix

Background: Diazinon is an organophosphorous pesticide which widely found in municipal, agricultural, and urban storm water discharges. The present study was conducted to achieve lethal concentration (LC50) and behavioral changes of Rutilus rutilus caspius and Hypophthal-micthys molitrix after exposure to lethal concentration of diazinon. Methods: The experiment was carried out in static con...

Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) belongs to the family Cyprinidae. In nature, carp live in the middle or lower reaches of a river with slow currents, or in marshes. Their habitats are usually weedy areas with a muddy bottom. Carp fry feed on zooplankton such as rotifers and copepods, but as they grow up they become benthic feeders, feeding on animals and other organic material. The cyprinids h...

Common carp - Cyprinus carpio

Distribution ! e common carp [Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus (1758)] has been one of the oldest domesticated species of fi sh for food. Culture of carp in China dates back to at least the 5th century BC, although domestication began much later. ! e European races of carp derived from wild carp of the Danube; the earliest attempts date back to the Roman Empire and spread of Christianity in Europe, fro...

The effect of aromatase inhibitor, fadrozole, on sGnRHa stimulated LH secretion in goldfish (Carassius auratus) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio).

The aromatase inhibitor, fadrozole, was applied to common carp and goldfish in order to examine its ability to increase the spontaneous and sGnRHa stimulated LH secretion. First, trials in goldfish in 2003 showed fadrozole's moderate ability to potentiate sGnRHa-stimulated LH secretion. However, this ability was much weaker than that obtained with dopamine antagonist, pimozide. There was no ovu...
