“…The test fish showed signs of asphyxiation such as frequent surfacing and gulping of air, somersaulting and erratic fin and opercula movement, which are attempts at oxygenation. These behaviours have been reported for fishes exposed to different types of toxicants (Nwani et al 2013;Nwani et al 2014;Okoh 2015;Okogwu et al 2015;Ašmonaitė et al 2016;Kalita and Coudhury 2018;Soni and Verma 2018;Sharma 2019;Salim et al 2021).…”

The need to boost food productivity to meet the demands of the ever-increasing human population necessitates the frequent use of agrochemicals. Primextra Gold containing atrazine (329g/l) and S-metolachlor (400g/l) is commonly used in agriculture to control weeds, especially in rice paddies. Given that herbicides could harm non-target species like fish, this study examined the effects of Primextra Gold on the behaviour, haematology, blood biochemistry and kidney of Clarias gariepinus. Juvenile C. gariepinus mean weight (11.05±5.43g) and length (11.95±6.13cm) were exposed to lethal and sublethal concentrations of the herbicide. The toxicity assay showed that the median lethal concentration (LC50) was 3.63µg/l. The fish exposed to sublethal concentrations exhibited signs of asphyxiation. The white blood cell (9.4- 10.8×106), aspartate aminotransferase (40.01-60.01IU/l) and alanine aminotransferase (68.02-90.12IU/l) levels increased significantly (p<0.05) in the test group compared to the control. Contrarily, glucose (53.14-82.25mg/dl) and protein (3.12- 9.38mg/dl) were lower in the herbicide exposed group compared to the control (p <0.05). Kidney histopathology revealed focal loss of the renal tissue, mild intra renal haemorrhage, moderate focal loss of renal tissue and severe focal loss of renal tissue in the herbicide exposed fish. The findings of this study suggest that this herbicide is hazardous to aquatic life and has negative consequences for non-target species when used indiscriminately. It is recommended that the herbicide should be used with caution, especially near aquatic habitat to maintain good water quality and ensure sustenance of aquatic biodiversity.

“…As such, fish are regarded as good ecological indicators of aquatic ecosystem health, as they are relatively easily monitored, long‐lived organisms and charismatic by nature and respond to changes in environmental condition (Baumgartner et al, 2014; Brand et al, 2009; Depledge & Galloway, 2005; Harris, 1995). Various biological organisation levels of fish are used when assessing water quality and the effects on ecosystem well‐being (McCallum et al, 2019; Sharma, 2019; Wepener, 2008). Fish behaviour has been shown to respond when exposed to multiple stressors and is 10–100 times more sensitive than other levels of biological organisation (Beitinger, 1990; Beitinger & McCauley, 1990; Sharma, 2019).…”

Fish behaviour is one biological organisational level regularly used to assess the state of freshwater ecosystems and can be monitored using fish telemetry methods. The development of activity sensors incorporated into fish telemetered tags allows for non‐spatial movement to be detected and is increasingly used to understand the energy budgets and response and fine‐scale behaviour of fishes. In addition, detecting tagged fish remotely and in real time highlights the need to process fish activity data in near real time to make it relevant to managers in the water resource sector. Our study on Labeobarbus natalensis, a cyprinid, in the uMngeni River in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa, adapted and then tested the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA), as developed for financial predictive modelling, using activity data from fish. To determine changes in behaviour, we compared the EWMA‐predicted fish behaviour against the present fish behaviour. We showed that the EWMA could adequately detect changes in behaviour on both individual and population levels. Changes in behaviour are potentially indicative of a change in environmental conditions and thus were developed into management alerts. We conducted further analyses using generalised additive mixed models (GAMM) to determine the relationship between fish activity and the environmental data collected. The GAMMs helped determine the potential drivers for changes in behaviour where the EWMA could detect these in real time. Detecting changes in behaviour in real time as a result of environmental variables can identify thresholds of potential concern influencing management decisions and allow managers to respond, contributing to improving effective freshwater management.

“…Cyprinus carpio is a hardy fish and consumers' preference in this region. In number of toxicity studies this fish has been used [14][15][16] . So the present study was planned to observe the oxidative stress in fish Cyprinus carpio in response to oxytetracycline.…”

Environment pollution is posing threat to humans and animals. Environmental pollution is caused by anthropogenic activities and is a major problem in many countries. The present study was investigated to find the oxidative stress induced by oxytetracycline in fish Cyprinus carpio. The acute exposure was given for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs of exposure. The sublethal concentration decided was 80 mg/l. Under oxidative stress, parameters such as glutathione-S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were studied and a significant reduction in the activity of GST, CAT and SOD was observed in the treated group as compared to control. A significant decrease in SOD and CAT is at 72 and 96 hours of exposure while, a significant decline trend after 24 hours of exposure in GST activity was observed. Acute exposure of OTC enhanced reactive oxygen species formation and inhibited antioxidant capacities in the fish. Based on the results it is evident that oxytetracycline is causing oxidative stress in fish. It is also demonstrated that oxidative stress biomarker may play important in biomonitoring assessment protocol.
