Pollution zoning on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea by measuring metals in Rutilus kutum tissue.

The aim of this study was to bio monitor the status of heavy metals on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea by determining the concentration of these metals in the tissue of Rutilus kutum. Sampling of kidney tissue, liver, muscle, skin, and gonad of this fish was performed in 5 sites. Sampling was performed in Anzali, Kiashahr, Astara, Farahabad, and Bandar Torkaman from September 2017 to January 2018.

Can Betadine (10% povidone-iodine solution) act on the survival rate and gill tissue structure of Oranda goldfish (Carassius auratus)?

Industrial chemical solutions are widely used as a method to disinfection of aquaculture water and environments. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the toxicity effect of Betadine (10% solution of povidone-iodine) as a disinfectant solution on the survival and gill tissue of Oranda goldfish (Carassius auratus). For these purposes, 225 fingerling Oranda goldfish with an average weight 5 ± 0.

Evaluation of Behavioral Changes and Tissue Damages in Common Carp () after Exposure to the Herbicide Glyphosate.

Pesticides can induce changes in behavior and reduce the survival chance of aquatic organisms. In this study, the toxic effects of glyphosate suspension (Glyphosate Aria 41% SL, Tehran Iran) on behavior and tissues of common carp () were assessed. For this purpose, a 96 h LC of glyphosate suspension (68.

Histological effects of sublethal concentrations of insecticide Lindane on intestinal tissue of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella).

This study investigates acute toxicity and histological effects of Lindane insecticide on intestinal tissues of immature grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). For these purposes, 105 fish were exposed to different concentrations of Lindane for 96 h in 5 groups with 3 replications. Samples of intestinal tissues were prepared in both control and exposure groups during and after the toxicity test.

Predicting the Trace Element Levels in Caspian Kutum (Rutilus kutum) from South of the Caspian Sea Based on Locality, Season and Fish Tissue.

Elements are the shared result of the erosion of rocks in the catchment area and human activities. Nutritional habits, ecological needs, heavy metal concentrations in water and sediment, duration of fishing in the aquatic environment, fishing season, and physicochemical properties of water (salinity, pH, hardness, and temperature) are among the effective factors in the accumulation of heavy metals in various fish organs. In this study, 150 specimens of Rutilus kutum were collected from the southern shores of the Caspian Sea including Astara, Anzali, and Kiashahr in Guilan Province, Farahabad in Mazandaran Province, and Bandar Torkaman in Golestan Province from December 2018 through October 2019.

Effect of long-term exposure of silver nanoparticles on growth indices, hematological and biochemical parameters and gonad histology of male goldfish (Carassius auratus gibelio).

Studying the impact of emerging pollutants such as nanoparticles is necessary to reveal the adverse effect. In this study, the effects of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) on hematological, biochemical, and gonad histopathological indices of male goldfish were examined. Sublethal toxicity were calculated based on acute toxicity and three dosages were selected.

Histopathological lesions and toxicity in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L. 1758) induced by copper nanoparticles.

Different types of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have been suggested for various applications such as water treatment and construction of agricultural pesticides; however, there are concerns about the potential toxicity of these compounds for the nontarget organism especially aquatic organisms. The aims of this study were assessing toxicity and histopathological effects of copper oxide NPs (NPs-CuO) on common carp (Cyprinus carpio) as a model organism. For this purpose 150 common carp with an average weight 7 ± 1 g were exposed to 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 150, and 200 mg/l of CuO-NPs (10 treatment with three replicates) for 96 hrs.
