“…The elevation of serum electrolyte levels of ¢sh on exposure to aquatic pollutants has been often reported by previous researches (Bansal et al 1979;Vedel, Korsgaard & Jensen 1998;Priya, Dinesh, Ramesh & Manavalaramanujam 1999;Gri⁄n, Davis, Darwish & Straus 2002;Gisbert, Rodriguez, Cardona, Huertas, Gallardo, Sarasquete, Sala-Rabanal, Ibarz, Sanchez & Castello-Orvay 2004). In this study, signi¢cant increases in serum electrolytes were observed in the DMBA-treatment groups.…”

“…Measurement of biochemical and physiological parameters is a commonly used diagnostic tool in aquatic toxicology and biomonitoring (McDonald & Milligan 1992;Folmar 1993;Soimasuo, Ilmari, Kukkonen, Petanen, Ristola & Oidari 1995;Kang, Lee & Jee 1999;Kang, Kim & Jee 2003). In addition, various haematological factors have been shown to be sensitive indicators for health conditions (Payne, Kiceniuk, Squires & Fletcher 1978;Bansal, Verma, Gupta & Dalela 1979). According to Moon, Choi, Kim, Jeong, Lee and Ok (2001) sediments and organisms in Korean coastal areas are contaminated with a wide range of PAHs.…”

Effects of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene on growth and haematological parameters in Korean rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli (Hilgendorf)

The objectives of the present experiment were to determine the effects on growth factors and some haematological parameters in Korean rockfish, Sebastes schlegeil, after dietary 7,12‐dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) exposure at 0.6, 1.2, 2.4 and 4.8 mg kg−1 diet for 8 weeks. The specific growth rate of the fish exposed to DMBA (≥1.2 mg kg−1) showed significantly lower performance than the control. Following 8 weeks of exposure, the DMBA‐exposed groups (2.4 and 4.8 mg kg−1) had a significantly higher mean hepatosomatic index. Condition factor of the fish exposed to DMBA did not show any statistically significant deviation from the control (P>0.05), although the mean values were somewhat lower than those of the control group. Observations on haematological parameters indicated DMBA treatment induced a severe anaemia. Total protein, albumin and total cholesterol concentrations decreased following exposure to DMBA at 2.4 and 4.8 mg kg−1. In contrast, serum bilirubin and blood urea nitrogen in fish exposed to DMBA increased. Significant decreases in serum electrolytes, chloride, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium, and osmolality were observed in all DMBA‐treatment groups. All DMBA‐treatment groups showed a significantly higher activity of lactate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase. Serum transaminase activity after the highest level of 4.8 mg kg−1 DMBA was significantly increased. The key finding from this study is that rockfish exposed to dietary DMBA at concentrations of 1.2 and 2.4 mg kg−1 diet are likely to experience adverse impacts in growth and haematological property respectively.

“…This supports the observations of earlier investigators who have reported decreased blood/plasma calcium content of fish treated with toxicants -deltamethrin (Srivastav et al, 1997), cypermethrin (Mishra et al, 2005), aldrin (Singh et al, 1996), malachite green (Srivastava et al, 1995), cadmium (Rai and Srivastav, 2003), propoxur (Singh et al, 1997) and formothion (Singh et al, 1997). Contrary to this, an elevation of plasma calcium levels of fish exposed to pesticides has been noticed by Bansal et al (1979), Dalela et al (1981) and Sharma et al (1982). However, Haux (1979) observed no effect on blood/plasma calcium concentrations of DDT-treated flounders Platichthys flesus.…”

The fish Heteropneustes fossilis were subjected to 5.28 mg/L (80% of 96 h LC 50 ) and 1.32 mg/L (20% of 96 h LC 50 ) solution of Metacid-50 (active ingredient methyl-parathion) for short-term (96 h) and long-term (28 days), respectively. H. fossilis exposed for short-term (96 h) to sublethal concentration of Metacid-50 exhibited a marked decrease in plasma calcium level. In short-term experiment, no change was noticed throughout the experiment in the histological structure and nuclear volume of prolactin cells of Metacid-50 treated fish. The chronical exposure of fish for long-term to Metacid-50-provoked hypocalcaemia. Up to 14 days there was no histological change in the prolactin cells of Metacid-50-exposed fish. After 21 days these cells exhibited slight degranulation. However, the nuclear volume remained unchanged. The prolactin cells exhibited further degranulation and the nuclear volume recorded an increase following 28 days Metacid-50 exposure. At some places, vacuolization and cytolysis were also observed.
