Abstract
Neonicotinoids such as acetamiprid are used extensively in veterinary medicine and agricultural practices. Acetamiprid has been reported to have effects on non-target organisms. This study investigates the effects of acetamiprid on common carp. Fish were exposed to 50 and 100 mg/L acetamiprid concentrations for 48 h and 96 h. Then, blood, gill and liver samples were taken from the fish. As a result of micronucleus analysis, it was determined that acetamiprid increased the number of micronuclei after 48 h of exposure at all concentrations 4-fold and after 96 h of exposure, at 50 mg/L concentration 2.5-fold and the 100 mg/L concentration 3-fold. According to the hematocrit values, a decrease was observed in the acetamiprid-exposure groups. While a small change was detected in AOPP and MDA values in gills and livers, histopathological analyses showed that 96 h exposure caused damage in both tissues. As a result, sublethal concentrations of acetamiprid caused toxic effects on common carp.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology publishes the results of studies concerning toxic and pharmacological effects of (human and veterinary) drugs and of environmental contaminants in animals and man.
Areas of special interest are: molecular mechanisms of toxicity, biotransformation and toxicokinetics (including toxicokinetic modelling), molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms explaining differences in sensitivity between species and individuals, the characterisation of pathophysiological models and mechanisms involved in the development of effects and the identification of biological markers that can be used to study exposure and effects in man and animals.
In addition to full length papers, short communications, full-length reviews and mini-reviews, Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology will publish in depth assessments of special problem areas. The latter publications may exceed the length of a full length paper three to fourfold. A basic requirement is that the assessments are made under the auspices of international groups of leading experts in the fields concerned. The information examined may either consist of data that were already published, or of new data that were obtained within the framework of collaborative research programmes. Provision is also made for the acceptance of minireviews on (classes of) compounds, toxicities or mechanisms, debating recent advances in rapidly developing fields that fall within the scope of the journal.
