Abstract:

Diclofenac, the anti-inflammatory drug, is found in natural water bodies all over the world. Toxicological researches of diclofenac report harmful effects on aquatic species even at low concentrations. The aim of present study was to determine whether diclofenac affected on the gills, liver and kidney of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). In order to evaluate toxic effects of diclofenac as NASIDs (non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) in fish, common carp was exposed to diclofenac concentrations of 1.25 mg L-1, 2.5 mg L-1 and 5 mg L-1. The effects of diclofenac on the fish were investigated by histopathological observations on a weekly basis over a 21 day experiment period. The histopathological examinations of diclofenac exposed fish revealed alteration of the kidney such as hyaline droplet, increasing of interstitial cells, shrinkage of glomeruli, and the presence of melanomacrophages and necrosis of epithelial cells of tubules. In the gills, the predominant findings consisted of epithelial hyperplasia, telangiectasia, clubbing, lamellar fusion and increasing of mucosal cells. Also observed histopathological alteration in liver, included, presence of melanomacrophages in hepatocyts, degeneration and vacuolation of hepatocyts and necrosis of hepatocytes. The most alteration was comparatively in the gills and liver. However the gills, livers and kidney sections of the two control groups exhibited normal structure. The results of this study showed that diclofenac could be harmful for C. carpio.

Histological Alterations in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) Gills as Potential Biomarkers for Fungicide Contamination

The present study aimed to investigate the histological alterations in common carp gills caused by a fosetyl-Al and fenamidone based fungicide tested in laboratory conditions at 30, 38 and 50 mg/L concentration. In general, all the tested concentrations activated compensatory-adaptive mechanisms, which caused pathological changes in the fish gills. Results showed different histological alterati...

Effects of aluminum on some tissue enzymes of gills, liver and muscles in common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of aluminum on the tissue enzymes of gills, liver and muscles in common carp. In this study, the effects of sub lethal levels of aluminum on metabolic enzymes, Aspartate aminotransferase, Alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase (AST, ALT and ALP) in organs including gills, liver and muscles of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were eva...

Effects of stocking density on growth performance, immune and stress responses in koi carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Koi (Linnaeus, 1758))

The aim of this study was to determine the optimal stocking density in koi carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Koi). For this reason, 2400 juvenile koi (1.28 ± 0.11 g) were stocked at five levels of density (50, 100, 150, 200 and 300 fish per m3) and reared for 11 weeks and growth performance, survival rate, and hematological parameters were evaluated. There was no significant difference between first t...

Effects of Sub-Lethal Toxicity of Paraquat on Blood Biochemical Parameters of Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758)

Background: Paraquat is a non-selective contact herbicide, widely used to control weeds in agriculture farms and aquatic plants in surface waters. Paraquat can have adverse effects on the health of aquatic organisms. The aim of this study was to detect the alterations in the blood biochemical parameters of common carp exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of commercial formulations of paraquat. ...

Effects of Phosalone on Mineral Contents and Spinal Deformities in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio, L.1758)

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of phosalone on some mineral contents, morphological abnormalities and spinal deformities in common carp (Cyprinus carpio, L.1758). Fish were exposed to 0.15, 0.30 and 0.60 mg L of phosalone using a semi-static exposure regime for 14 days. Experiments were conducted in triplicate for control treatments and phosalone concentrations. At the e...
