Acetamiprid'in Cyprinus carpio da Genotoksik Etkisinin Mikronükleus Analizi ve Comet Testi ile Araştırılması

Pesticides are considered to be one of the biggest economic and ecological problems in aquatic ecosystem. Monitoring for toxic effects screening different insecticides is vital crucial reducing adverse on organisms public health. Therefore, this study, we aimed determine genotoxic effect acetamipridine a model fish species, Cyprinus carpio, using micronucleus test Comet assay. Common carp (average weight 1.35 ±0.11g) were exposed three concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.8 g/L) based previously detected environmental concentrations, constituting an acute week. At end Damage frequency (%), Arbitrary unit Genetic damage index (%) evaluated gill liver cells by Also, frequencies erythrocyte abnormalities determined erythrocytes test. Our results revealed significant increases micronuclei DNA strand breaks C. following exposure thus demonstrated potential pesticide fish. findings also indicated suitability comet assay assessment genotoxicity insecticides.
