Detection of lethal concentration (LC50) of diazinon in Silver Carp (Hypophthalmicthys molitrix) and Roach (Rutilus rutilus)
Authors
Abstract:
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. The results showed LC50in silver carp 3.93 (2. 94-4. 99) mg/l was more than roach 1.71 (1.20-2.23) mg/l that means higher diazinon resistance of silver carp than roach.

Acute toxicity test of detergent powder in silver carp (Hypophthalmicthys molitrix), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), goldfish (Carassius auratus) and roach (Rutilus rutilus caspicus)
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 (Hypopht...
full textSexual ornamentation, androgens and papillomatosis in male roach (Rutilus rutilus)
According to the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis, males with attractive sexual ornamentation are more handicapped than their less ornamented rivals because of the immunosuppressive androgens required for the production of secondary sexual characters. Here we studied the predictions of the hypothesis in a wild cyprinid fish, the roach (Rutilus rutilus). We assayed (1) sexual ornamentation (...

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...
full textFactors affecting between-lake variation in the occurrence of epidermal papillomatosis in roach, Rutilus rutilus (L.).
The theory of island biogeography predicts that the probability of a species occupying an island depends on a dynamic equilibrium between extinction and colonization. Epidermal papillomatosis is a disease manifesting as skin tumours on fish. We studied the factors affecting the occurrence of the disease in roach, Rutilus rutilus (L.), in 34 lakes. The results of discrimination analysis suggest ...

The intention to increase roach (Rutilus rutilus) consumption is in focus for ecological and economic reasons in Finland. However, its safety as food has not been considered comprehensively. We collected and artificially digested 85 roach halves originating from the south-eastern coast of Finland, and found trematode metacercariae in 98.8% of the samples. Based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR...

We studied the association between environmental stress and epidermal papillomatosis of roach Rutilus rutilus L. in Finnish waters using a 'matched pairs' design. Populations impacted by industrial and/or sewage effluents were compared to reference populations from pristine sites. We examined both the prevalence (proportion of diseased fish) and intensity (number of scales covered by tumors) of...
