Effects of Glyphosate-Based Herbicide Sub-Lethal Concentrations on Fish Feeding Behavior

Abstract: Glyphosate-based herbicides are widely used in agricultural systems. Although the target organism are particularly plant organisms, there are numerous studies showing adverse effects in aquatic animals, such as inhibition of acetyl cholinesterase, effects on kidney, liver, and gill and stressors effects. This study analyzed the effects of commercial formulation of glyphosate on feeding behavior in Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus). Fish were exposed to three glyphosate concentrations (0.2, 0.6, and 1.8 ppm) for 1… Show more

“…Concerning the adverse effects of glyphosate on Oreochromis niloticus growth performance, the results were consistent with those obtained by PC Giaquinto, MB de Sá, VS Sugihara, BB Gonçalves, HC Delício and A Barki [ 79 ]. The latter authors observed that glyphosate-based herbicide at sublethal concentrations (1.8 ppm) affected feed intake in pacu fish and thus, inhibited its growth.…”

“…Tissue damage may partially be a cause of reduced appetite in fish under stress conditions (Boeck and Blust, 1997). Similar results have also been reported by Giaquinto et al (2017) in Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) exposed to three glyphosate concentrations (0.2, 0.6 and 1.8 mgL -1 ).…”

“…The decline in Hb and RBC values is due to the breakdown of iron synthesizing machinery [ 43 ]. The damage caused to the intestine by the toxicant may be a reason for impaired iron absorption that led to its deficiency [ 44 ].…”
