2,4-D dimethylammonium, a widely used herbicide, accumulates in aquatic animals, posing risks to both their populations and human consumers. This study evaluated the effects of 2,4-D on Riceland prawn (Macrobrachium lanchesteri) using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to assess morphological changes. The activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), catalase (CAT), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) was also measured.

The effects focus on Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) expression in the brain, gill, muscle, and plasma using antibody techniques. Our findings revealed a decrease in AChE expression with prolonged exposure.

This study aimed to develop an antibody technique for assessing acetylcholinesterase (AChE) expression in Nile tilapia () after glyphosate exposure in the assessed tissues consisting of plasma, muscle, gills, and liver. Results showed that the cumulative mortality of fish exposed to glyphosate increased with exposure time and glyphosate concentration.

AChE (acetylcholinesterase) is generally classified as a specific biomarker of pesticide exposure. The aim of this study was to produce AChE polyclonal antibody from hybrid catfish that were exposed to commercial glyphosate. The hybrid catfish was exposed to glyphosate (0.
