چکیده

background: the presence of pesticide due to the huge demand for agricultural purposes is very prevalent in surface waters of iran. these pesticides could finally accumulate in aquatic ecosystems and have been proved to have toxic effects on aquatic animals. the aim of this study was to assess the acute toxicity of diazinon, deltamethrin, butachlor and pretilachlor on zebra cichlid (cryptoheros nigrofasciatus). methods: fish samples were exposed to different concentrations of diazinon (60%) (0, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 ppm), deltamethrin (2.5%) (0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.40 ppm), butachlor (60%) (0, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 ppm) and pretilachlor (50%) (0, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 ppm) for 96 h within the 100 l glass aquaria and cumulative mortality of zebra cichlid fish was calculated in 24-h interval. results: the very low lc50 obtained for diazinon (5.06±0.37 ppm), deltamethrin (0.15±0.39 ppm), butachlor (8.93±0.26 ppm) and pretilachlor (20.72±0.58 ppm) indicated that these are highly toxic chemicals. conclusion: our results demonstrate that deltamethrin and pretilachlor had the lowest and highest rate of mortality on the zebra cichlid respectively.

Effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on the acute toxicity of Ag nanoparticles in zebra fish (Danio rerio)

The potential entry of nanomaterials into the water ecosystems increased following their increasing use. In addition to the direct effects of nanomaterials on aquatic organisms, they also affect the toxicity of other pollutants on aquatic organisms. This study assessed the presence of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO2) in water on acute toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on zebra fish...

Social status, breeding state, and GnRH soma size in convict cichlids (Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus).

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) expressing neurons in the preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus plays a key role in regulating reproductive function through the control of gonadotropin release. Several studies have illustrated the importance of the social environment in modulating the size of GnRH expressing neurons. In the African cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni, the size of the som...
