Worldwide, pesticides have contaminated the environment, affecting non-target species. The aim of this work was to evaluate effects fosetyl-Al (FOS) on model organisms. Based 3 Rs for animal research and described guidelines, OECD 236 220 were applied with some modifications. FOS test concentrations 0.02–0.2–2–20–200 mg/L Danio rerio 250–500–750–1000–1250 mg/kg Enchytraeus crypticus. Besides st...

The scototaxis test has been introduced recently to assess anxiety-like phenotypes in fish, including zebrafish. Parametric analyses suggest that scototaxis represents an approach-avoidance conflict, which hints at anxiety. In this model, white avoidance represents anxiety-like behavior, while the number of shuttling events represents activity. Acute or chronic fluoxetine, buspirone, benzodiaze...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of subchronic exposure to atrazine on fish growth and the development of histopathological changes in selected organs (gill, kidney, liver) in Danio rerio. Juvenile growth tests were performed on D. rerio according to OECD method No. 215. For 28 days, fish at an initial age of 30 days were exposed to the environmental atrazine concentration c...
