“…Also Hontela ( 1998 ) noted a decrease in plasma cortisol level of Perca flavescens exposed to cadmium. Significant increase in plasma cortisol and prolactin level of C. carpio subjected to acute and sublethal copper treatments was reported by Ramesh et al ( 2007 ).…”

“…Therefore, hematopoietic, immune and endocrine functions are combined in pronephros (Wendelaar Bonga 1997 ; Weyts et al 1999 ), thus cadmium and copper accumulation in head kidney can produce toxic effects on many important physiological processes in fish. Subletalne concentrations of both metals can change hormone levels (Hontela 1998 ; Lizardo-Daudt et al 2007 ; Ramesh et al 2007 ; Dangre et al 2010 ), immunological mechanisms (Petanova et al 2000 ; Jelovcan et al 2003 ; Lafuente et al 2004 ) or hematological parameters (Kondera and Witeska 2012 ; Witeska et al 2010 , 2011 ).…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate bioaccumulation of metals in various tissues of the freshwater fish Cyprinus carpio L. exposed to cadmium and copper (a xenobiotic and a microelement). The fish were subjected to short-term (3 h, Cd-S and Cu-S) or long-term (4 weeks, Cd-L and Cu-L) exposures to 100 % 96hLC50 or 10 % 96hLC50, respectively. Blood, gill, liver, head and trunk kidney were isolated weekly from 5 fish of each group for 4 weeks (post-short-term exposure and during long-term exposure). Atomic absorption spectrophotometry technique was applied to measure concentrations of metals (Cd and Cu) in fish tissues. Initial concentrations of copper in fish tissues were higher than levels of cadmium. Cadmium and copper levels increased in all tissues of metal-exposed fish. After short-term exposures (at higher concentration) and during long-term exposures (at lower concentration), similar changes in metal concentrations were observed. The values of accumulation factor (ratio of final to initial metal concentration) were higher for cadmium as compared to copper. Comparison of metal levels and accumulation factors in various tissues revealed that cadmium and copper showed very high affinity to head kidney of common carp (higher than to other tissues), but accumulation factors for cadmium in trunk, head kidney and liver were much higher than for copper. The concentrations of copper in organs of Cu-exposed fish increased only slightly and quickly returned to the control level, which shows that fish organism easily buffered metal level. On the other hand, concentrations of cadmium considerably increased and remained elevated for a long time which suggests that activation of mechanisms of sequestration and elimination of cadmium required more time.

“…At high concentrations, Cu causes disturbances in sodium and chloride homeostasis, i.e. in osmoregulation, alters the level of nitrogenous metabolites and induces respiratory stress (De Boeck et al 2007;Ramesh et al 2007). The toxic effect of copper sulphate is used to treat a range of invertebrate parasites affecting both freshwater and marine fish.…”

At the onset of swimbladder inflation, Tinca tinca larvae were exposed for 24 h to cadmium or copper at 0.0 (control concentration), 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mg dm -3 at 22°C. From then larvae were reared at 25°C for 9 days in un-supplemented water. Both metals resulted in a significantly reduced growth, survival, and retarded swimbladder inflation in a dose-response manner. The highest Cd and Cu concentration delayed the onset of exogenous feeding (live artemia nauplii) for 2 or 1 days, respectively, comparing to the control concentration. Our results demonstrate a highly toxic effect of Cd and Cu in the studied period of larval ontogeny, when fish seem especially sensitive. Although, at low concentrations and long exposure period, Cu is considered more toxic to fish than Cd, our study revealed the reverse effect for first-feeding larvae of both metals at high concentrations and short exposure.

“…Many studies have shown that serum glucose levels increase in the case of stress caused by metal effects. (Iwama et al, 1999;Cicik & Engin, 2005;Ramesh, 2007). Determination of serum total protein level is used as an indicator of liver damage and is a parameter related to the nutritional status of fish and is used as a marker of xenobiotic-induced stress.…”

Today, human effects due to industrial development and population increase caused water ecosystems to be polluted by various pollutant such as heavy metals. Serum biochemical parameters are widely used in blood analysis and these parameters are suitable indicators for monitoring physiological changes in fish. Hence, the aim of present study to the effects of waterborne copper on serum glucose, total protein, albumin and triglyceride levels and serum cholinesterase (ChE), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkalane phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities of O. niloticus were determined after exposing the fish to 10, 50 and 100 µg/L copper applied as CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs) and CuSO4 over 1, 7 and 15 days.No mortality was observed during the experiments. Serum glucose and albumin levels increased while serum total protein, cholesterol and triglyceride levels decreased compared to control at the end of the 15th day. There was also a decrease in serum ChE activity whereas serum AST, ALT, ALP and LDH activities increased. Overall, CuSO4 and CuO NPs had similar effects in serum parameters of O. niloticus.
