Abstract:Fishes are excellent subjects for the study of the mutagenic and carcinogenic potential of contaminants present in water. Herbicides are one of the toxic contaminants that cause lethal effects in fish. In this context, the present study was designed to study the sub‐lethal toxic effect (low dose [LD] 25 mg/L, medium dose‐50 mg/L, and high dose [HD] 100 mg/L) of a commonly used herbicide, pyrazosulfuron ethyl (PE), on erythrocytes of tilapia. The genotoxic effect was studied to understand the sub‐lethal potenti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
