A multiscale study of the effects of a diet containing CdSe/ZnS-COOH quantum dots on Salmo trutta fario L.: Potential feed-related nanotoxicity.

Quantum dots (QDs) receive widespread attention in industrial and biomedical fields, but the risks posed by the use of nanoparticles to aquatic organisms and the associated toxicological effects are still not well understood. In this study, effects of the 7-day dietary exposure of Salmo trutta fario L. juveniles to CdSe/ZnS-COOH QDs were evaluated at molecular, cellular, physiological and whole-organism levels.
