“…In addition, previous studies have pointed out the enrichment of heavy metals in muscle, gills, liver, and kidney of fish (Fazio et al, 2014;Svecevicius et al, 2014;Wei et al, 2014). The NPs enhance the uptake heavy metal and organic toxicants (Baun et al, 2008;Tan et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2012Wang et al, , 2014.…”

“…Change in haematological variables are frequently evaluated in clinical diagnoses of fish physiology to determine the effects of external stressors (Fazio et al, 2014). In our experiments, no significant changes in total hemoglobin levels were observed in goldfish exposed to Gesagard at any of the three concentrations used (Table 1).…”

The impact of goldfish exposure for 96 h to herbicide Gesagard 500 FW at concentrations 0.2, 1, or 5 mg L −1 (corresponding to 0.1, 0.5 or 2.5 mg L -1 of effective compound prometryn) on the hematological profile of blood and biochemical parameters of plasma and liver was studied. Fish exposure to low concentration of the herbicide (0.2 mg L -1 ) slightly decreased liver glycogen and plasma lactate levels. Plasma glucose levels rose by 27% in goldfish exposed to 1 mg L -1 Gesagard. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase decreased by 63% and 36% in plasma of fish exposed to herbicide at concentrations 1 and 5 mg L -1 , respectively, but was not affected in liver. Goldfish exposure to the highest concentration of Gesagard (5 mg L -1 ) decreased hematocrit by 23% and increased monocyte count by 57%, and elevated triacylglycerol level by 91% in plasma. Overall, the results indicate that acute exposure to Gesagard induced minor changes in the hematological and biochemical parameters of goldfish, suggesting that disruptions of these parameters may provide early warning signs that could be useful for assessing acute or sublethal toxic effects of pesticides on aquatic species.

“…Unfortunately, HM are non-biodegradable and could deteriorate fish growth and health (Fazio et al 2014;Savorelli et al 2016;Abdel-Tawwab et al 2013. Thus, scientific methods for HM removal and/or detoxification are essential to improve the health of the fish inhabiting HM-stressed environment.…”

Heavy metal (HM) pollution is one of the major problems that adversely affect the aquatic ecosystem and inhabiting biota. Heavy metals adsorption by low-cost adsorbents is one of the techniques used for HM removing from polluted water. In the present study, agricultural wastes (AW), i.e., rice straw, sugarcane bagasse, and maize stalks, were washed with distilled water, dried in a dry-oven, cut into small pieces (\0.5 cm long), and immersed at 1.0 g/L in aquaria containing synthetic mixture of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn). Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.), fingerlings (25.2 ± 0.88 g) were stocked at a density of ten fish per 100-L aquarium for 72 h, during which fish were fed on a fish diet containing 25% crude protein ad libitum twice daily. Samples of water, AW, and fish were collected at different times to determine HM concentrations. The HM removal from polluted water was depending on the type of the metal ions, AW, and the contact time. However, HM concentrations in aquaria waters of all AW treatments decreased significantly by increasing contact time up to 24 h after which their concentrations were almost the same. Concentrations of waterborne Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in AW-containing aquaria were significantly lower than those of AW-free aquaria. The presence of any AW reduced significantly HM concentrations. In AW-free aquaria, HM-exposed fish accumulated more HM in their body than those reared in AWcontaining aquaria. The results of this experiment showed that all AW had the capability to remove HM levels from the polluted water and reduce their bioaccumulation in fish body. However, rice straw was the more efficient adsorbent for all metals.
