“…The Japanese Madaka is an extensively studied species and has been proposed as the standard test fish in the OECD guidelines (OECD, 1999). Many data related to behavior in madaka have been reported (Gray et al, 1999;Oshima et al, 2003;Gormley and Teather, 2003;Chon et al, 2005;Ren et al, 2007Ren et al, , 2009aRen et al, , 2009b.…”

It is important to select suitable organisms to adapt the requirement of different environment monitoring purposes. Following our previous study, the behavioral responses of Daphnia magna and Japanese madaka (Oryzias latipes) were investigated and compared under flow-through conditions in an on-line biomonitoring system. The results showed that both D. magna and Japanese madaka had similar biological clock, but the circadian rhythms of Japanese madaka was more clearly recorded than that of D. magna. And the sensitivity of D. magna was about two orders of magnitudes higher than that of Japanese madaka in different types of toxic chemicals (dichlorovos, deltamethrin and cadmium chloride). However, when both animals were used in an on-line biomonitoring system, the life span of D. magna was less than 7 days and Japanese madaka could last for more than one month without feeding. Therefore, D. magna was proposed to be a more sensitive bioindicator and was suitable for short term monitoring the pollution events at concentration level closing to the water quality standard, while Japanese madaka was more suitable for the long-term monitoring for accidental discharges.

“…The behavioural activities of Clarias gariepinus juveniles on introduction of selenium at different concentrations were observed. The noticeable behaviours include aggressiveness, loss of equilibrium, slow motion, erratic swimming and sound making which is not uncommon because it has been reported by Gormley and Teather (2003) who worked on Japanese medaka (Oryziaslatipes) exposed to endosulfan. Erratic swimming exhibited by the fish could be as a result of loss of equilibrium caused by the intoxication of the selenium.…”

“…Behavioural measurement has been used as indicator of toxic stress in fish. Fishes in a contaminated environment show some altered behavioural patterns which may include avoidance, locomotive activity and aggression and these may cause fish attempt to escape or adjust to the stress condition (Morgan et al, 1991;Gormley and Teather, 2003). Behavioural functions are generally quite vulnerable to contaminant exposures, and fish often exhibit these responses first when exposed to pollutants (Little et al, 1993;Ololade and Oginni, 2010).…”

Various toxicants have been deposited into aquatic environment due to human activities, in light with this, 180 healthy Clarias gariepinus juveniles with mean weight of 7.4±0.64 g and length of 11.2±0.88 cm were exposed to different concentrations of selenium (a typical toxicant) to evaluate its behaviour and histopathological response. The fish were exposed to different concentrations (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 mg/L) of selenium under a static bioassay for 96 hours after a range finding test and 96 hours LC 50 was determined using probit method. 10 fish per concentration was used for the bioassay in triplicates. The 96 hours lethal concentration (LC 50 ) was estimated to be 3.39 mg/L. The histological examination of the gill revealed hyperplasia and haemorrhage of the gill lamellar. The kidney showed vacuolation and blood stains while the skin demonstrated mucosal eruption. These alterations increase with increase in selenium concentration. Selenium at high concentration has shown to induce behavioural changes on fish and also alterations to organs of Cgariepinus juvenile. It is therefore recommended that industries ensure the incorporation of effluents treatment plants to treat wastes before discharging into the environment.
