“…[19] also noted spinal deformities in P. promelas and O. mykiss. The behavioural and morphological alterations observed in C.gariepinus were consistent with the findings of [12], [20] and [19]. [32] reported that residue levels of chlorpyrifos in surviving O. latipes at 48 hrs exposure were 727 to 1,143 times greater than the water concentrations.…”

“…The abnormal vertebral bending observed in this investigation may have led to the occasional breakages at the middle and caudal regions of the fish. [20] recorded 50% deformities, which consisted of lateral bend in the spine; in fathead minnows after 15 hrs of 0.122mg/l chlorpyrifos exposure. [19] also noted spinal deformities in P. promelas and O. mykiss.…”

The impact of short-term exposure to waterborne chlorpyrifos-ethyl on Clarias gariepinus was evaluated through changes of selected behavioural parameters. Fish was exposed to 0.64 mg/l, 0.80 mg/l, 0.96 mg/l, 0.12 mg/l, 0.28 mg/l and control for 96h. The parameters measured were Opercular ventilation (OVC), Tail fin movement rate (TMR), Air gulping index (AGI) and Mortality. The main effects of concentration and duration on rates of tail fin movement rate of fish were highly significant (p<0.001). There was significant decrease (p<0.05) in the opercular ventilation of treated fish when compared with control. Also both the main effects of concentration and duration of exposure of chlorpyrifosethyl and the effect of their interactions on AGI were highly significant (p<0.001). Highest mortality was recorded from 1-12hrs period of exposure and the mortality at 12hrs was significantly (P<0.05) higher than the mortality recorded from 24hrs-96hrs periods. The acute toxicity of chlorpyrifos-ethyl elicited dose and duration dependent behavioural changes that led to mortality of fish. Behavioural changes were therefore proven to be more sensitive endpoints than mortality.

“…Two life cycle studies have been reported in freshwater fish, both with the fathead minnow. In the study of Jarvinen et al (1988), first-generation fathead minnows chronically exposed to chlorpyrifos for a complete life cycle exhibited significantly reduced growth at 1.2 p,g/L and reduced maturation and reproduction at 0.63 p,g/L. Second-generation fish produced in the life cycle study exhibited reduced growth at 0.12 p,g/L, although growth did not show an apparent dose-response relationship (Jarvinen et al 1983).…”

“…The formulation (controlled release versus technical grade) did not appear to affect the chronic toxicity of chlorpyrifos to the fathead minnow (Jarvinen and Tanner 1982). Singlepulse exposures of acutely toxic concentrations of chlorpyrifos (155-317 p,g/L) for 1-5 hr resulted in chronic toxicity to fathead minnows at 30 d (Jarvinen et al 1988). Two life cycle studies have been reported in freshwater fish, both with the fathead minnow.…”

The detrimental effects of pyrethroids on growth have been observed in many different fish species, including sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) (Hansen et al, 1983), steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) (Curtis et al, 1985), fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) (Jarvinen et al, 1988;Floyd et al, 2008), bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) (Little et al, 1993;Tanner and Knuth, 1996) and freshwater catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) (Saha and Kaviraj, 2013).…”

Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) organize knowledge on the progression of toxicity through levels of biological organization. By determining the linkages between toxicity events at different levels, AOPs lay the foundation for mechanism-based alternative testing approaches to hazard assessment. Here, we focus on growth impairment in fish to illustrate the initial stages in the process of AOP development for chronic toxicity outcomes. Growth is an apical endpoint commonly assessed in chronic toxicity tests for which a replacement is desirable. Based on several criteria, we identified reduction in food intake to be a suitable key event for initiation of middle-out AOP development. To start exploring the upstream and downstream links of this key event, we developed three AOP case studies, for pyrethroids, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and cadmium. Our analysis showed that the effect of pyrethroids and SSRIs on food intake is strongly linked to growth impairment, while cadmium causes a reduction in growth due to increased metabolic demands rather than changes in food intake. Locomotion impairment by pyrethroids is strongly linked to their effects on food intake and growth, while for SSRIs their direct influence on appetite may play a more important role. We further discuss which alternative tests could be used to inform on the predictive key events identified in the case studies. In conclusion, our work demonstrates how the AOP concept can be used in practice to assess critically the knowledge available for specific chronic toxicity cases and to identify existing knowledge gaps and potential alternative tests.
