Effect of developmental temperature on swimming performance of zebrafish (Danio rerio) juveniles

It is widely known that water temperature affects the swimming capacity of fish. But the effect of the rearing temperature on the swimming ability of the fish at later stages, has not had similar attention. In this study, four populations of zebrafish, were reared in different water temperatures (22, 25, 28 and 31°C) and after being acclimatized in a common temperature (26.5°C) for over a month, they were subjected to swimming trials in order to evaluate the maximum relative critical velocity (RU crit ) in each case. Fish that were reared in 22°C showed statistically significant lower performance than the ones reared in 31°C (7.72 ±0.17 vs. 8.79±0.28, means ± S.E.). Possible explanations for the observed differentiation could be the effect of early life temperature on fish muscle ontogeny or on body shape.

“…Long lasting neurobehavioral deficits during early development, persistent hatching, larval morphological deformities, decrease in whole brain activity (Levin et al 2003(Levin et al , 2004Eddins et al 2009;Richendrfer et al 2012;Sledge et al 2011), reduced survival, adult length and body weight, and reproductive failure are the other primary effects likely to result from chronic chlorpyrifos exposures. Moreover, life cycle study has provided enough data to show that second generations are more sensitive than the first generation (Corbin et al 2009).…”

Chlorpyrifos: pollution and remediation

The widespread use of pesticides in modern agriculture is of increasing concern due to environmental contamination and subsequent biodiversity loss. Chlorpyrifos is a toxic organophosphate pesticide. Repeated applications of chlorpyrifos modify the soil microbial community structure and pose potential health risks to the other nontargets. Chlorpyrifos has been reported as the second most commonly detected pesticide in food and water. Extensive use of chlorpyrifos in agriculture and persistence in the environment have raised public concern and demand for safe technologies to overcome the pollution and toxicity problems. Here, we review pollution and toxicity issues associated with chlorpyrifos use and discuss strategies to solve pesticide contamination. Chlorpyrifos, previously shown to be resistant to enhanced degradation, has now been proved to undergo enhanced microbe-mediated decay. Here, special emphasis is given to degradation methods such as ozonation, Fenton treatment, photodegradation, and advanced oxidation processes along with microbial degradation. Finally, we focus on degradation process at enzyme and molecular levels which will enable us to elucidate the exact degradative pathway involved in biodegradation.

“…16 Zebrafish were used previously to study the effects of chlorpyrifos (CPF), an organophosphate pesticide that is also an AChE inhibitor, on neurodevelopment. 17 The success of this study further indicates zebrafish as a good model for toxicology studies. The combination of toxicological relevance with the preexisting knowledge about the development of zebrafish makes them an ideal model for the study of the effects of carbaryl on development.…”

The Effects of Carbaryl on the Development of Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Embryos

et al. 2012

In the United States, Sevin TM brand insecticide is one of the most commonly used insecticides. The active ingredient in Sevin TM , carbaryl (1-napthyl-N-methylcarbamate), is a known acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine to acetate and choline at the synapse. While carbaryl successfully causes the death of insects by paralysis, it has also been shown to have negative effects on the development of several nontarget species. To study the effects of carbaryl on nontarget species, zebrafish (Danio rerio) were used, as they are a good model for both toxicology and development studies. Our study suggests that carbaryl induces changes in morphology, specifically in embryo size and shape. Additionally, carbaryl causes defects in heart formation that is characterized by a decrease in heart rate and a developmental delay/defect in cardiac looping. A significant decrease in the number of spinal cord neurons present was also observed. Further investigation showed that there was an increase in cell death in carbaryl-treated embryos. The results indicate that carbaryl may have a greater environmental impact than initially intended. Our study, which was conducted solely by undergraduates at a liberal arts college, indicates that carbaryl may be detrimental to the development of nontarget species.
