“…Exposure to metals frequently causes alterations in the tubules and glomerulus, such as was described by Thophon et al (2003) for the perch (Lates calcarifer) exposed to cadmium; Handy and Penrice (1993) found swollen Bowmańs capsule cells and melanomacrophages in the kidney of trout (Salmo trutta) and tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) exposed to mercuric chloride. Similar alterations were found in fishes exposed to organic contaminants (Veiga et al 2002) and mixed environmental contaminants (Schwaiger et al 1997;Pacheco and Santos 2002). These reports suggest that the histopathological changes in the kidney could not be considered specific to the stressors.…”

The use of chemical pesticides has increased environmental pollution and affected ichthyofauna as non target organisms. In the present study, the histopathological alterations in the larvae and fingerlings of the Caspian kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum, were used as a model to investigate the toxic effects of triazine herbicide, atrazine. To investigate toxic effects of atrazine, fish were exposed to sublethal concentration of ½ LC50 for 96 h. Histologically, the most significant alterations in kidney tissues were hyperplasia, necrosis, vacuolation, swelling, hypertrophy, aggregation of hyaline droplets, and disruption of the haematopitic tissue of the head kidney. The damage was more severe in larvae than the fingerlings. Results showed that alterations in kidney tissue caused by atrazine were not specific but it could be concluded that atrazine is excessively toxic for Caspian kutum even at sublethal concentration and acute exposure.

“…In the present study, exposure of the common carp larvae to contaminated water showed degeneration in some epithelial cells of the renal tubules in addition to hypertrophy in epithelial cells of some other renal tubules were detected. Similar alterations were found by Veiga et al (2002) on the kidneys of other teleost fishes. However, short period of exposure may have no effect, because this phenomenon usually starts from 2 to 4 weeks after exposure to stressor and could even take 2 months to be completed (Gernhofer et al, 2001).…”

The present results show that the fertilization and hatching rates, as well as the development of the embryos of common carp are adversely affected by heavy metal pollution. The degree of this effect depends on the duration and the concentration of the heavy metal used. Malformation of the yolk sac and curvature in the abdominal region were also observed throughout this study. No statistical difference was recorded between the polluted group which was supplemented with vitamin C (300 mg/kg of dry feed), and the control group (P < 0.05). The newly hatched larvae showed severe body malformation, and they were not able to swim or feed. Other organs such as the kidneys and livers were also affected. The most important changes in the kidneys of common carp were glomerular expansion and the reduction of Bowman's space. No abnormalities or alterations were observed in the livers of the control fish. However, the main alterations were observed in the liver of treated fish with cadmium chloride that were either single or mixed with zinc acetate. The most important changes in the livers of common carp were hypertrophy nucleus and vacuolation in cytoplasm. Addition of vitamin C with dry feed showed an improvement in the tissues of livers and kidneys of polluted fish. ª 2015 Hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries.

“…In more severe cases, the degenerative process leads to tissue necrosis (28). The present results are in agreement with those observed in C. carpio exposed to sewage (29), P. lineatus exposed trichlorfon (30) and L. calcarifer exposed to cadmium (27). Velmurugan, et al reported, histological changes in kidney of C. mrigala, exibiting necrosis of tubular epithelium, hypertrophied epithelial cells of renal tubules, expansion of space inside the Bowman's capsules exposed to fenvalerate (31).…”
