“…These gill histological alterations has been observed by several authors in fish submitted to copper (Karan et al 1998, Chen & Lin 2001, De Boeck et al 2001. However, these changes also can be due to the exposition to different kinds of pollutants, such as endosulfan (Nowak 1992), arsenic (Hwang & Tsai 1993), drugs (Schwaiger et al 2004) and other T T T T heavy metals, as aluminium (Karlsson-Norggren et al 1986), cadmium (Reid & McDonald 1988), and nickel (Pane et al 2004).…”

Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, of both sexes were reared in freshwater and exposed to 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5mg L-1 of waterborne copper for a period of 21 days. Liver and gill samples were collected after 21 days of exposure to copper and lesions were analyzed by light microscopy. The main histopathological changes observed in gills exposed to the highest concentration were edema, lifting of lamellar epithelia and an intense vasodilatation of the lamellar vascular axis. Although less frequent, lamellar fusion caused by the filamentar epithelium proliferation and some lamellar aneurisms were also found. The liver of control group exhibited a quite normal architecture, while the fish exposed to copper showed vacuolation and necrosis. These hepatic alterations were more evident in fish exposed to 1.0 and 2.5mg L-1 copper concentrations. The number of hepatocytes nucleus per mm² of hepatic tissue decreased with the increase of copper concentration. In contrast, the hepatic somatic index was high in fish exposed at 2.5mg L-1 of copper. In short, this work advance new knowledge as influence of copper in the gill and liver histology of O. niloticus and demonstrated that their effects could be observed at different concentrations.

“…In the aquaculture industry, copper sulfate is used as an algaecide and as a therapeutic chemical for various ectoparasitic and bacterial infections [11,21]. For example, copper sulfate is an effective treatment for filamentous algae in shrimp ponds and white spot disease in goldfish (Carassius auratus) [6,17]. Copper sulfate also inhibits growth of bacteria such as Salmonella spp., Pasteurella spp., Vibrio spp., Streptococcus spp., Aeromonas spp., Psedomonas spp.…”

ABSTRACT. Chemicals are used for treatment of aquatic diseases, but there is little data available about copper sulfate in small ornamental fish. The aim of the present study was to determine the TLm 24h and evaluate the toxicity of copper sulfate in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata). The fish were subjected to an acute toxicity test for 24 hr, and the results showed a TLm 24h value of 1.17 ppm. Severe hyperplasia and exfoliation of the epithelial cells of gill lamellae and obstruction of the internal cavities of renal tubules with necrotized renal epithelial cells sloughed from the basement membrane were observed. However, no significant changes, except for mild curling of gill lamellae, were found in a subacute toxicity test in which fish were exposed to 1/10 of the TLm 24h value for 1 week. Therefore, use of less than 0.12 ppm of copper sulfate may be recommended as a therapeutic level.

“…They reported the 96-hour median lethal concentrations (LC 50 ) of copper on juvenile P. monodon as 3130 and 7730 µg/L in seawater of 15‰ (i.e., PSU) and 25‰, respectively. During longer term tests, the 30-day EC 50 (concentration that resulted in a 50% reduction of weight gain relative to the controls) and 60-day EC 50 were reported at 2820-and 1890-µg/L copper, respectively (Chen and Lin, 2001). Because the data are apparently based on nominal concentrations, we used a 0.9 conversion factor (USEPA, 1995a) to calculate a dissolved SMAV of 4226.95 µg/L, which we used as the GMAV in the site-specific data set.…”

“…This species is of major economic importance, both as a fishery and as an aquaculture resource (Carpenter and Niem, 1998b). Chen and Lin (2001) reported the results of a study to determine the acute and chronic toxicity of copper sulfate for juveniles of Penaeus monodon. They reported the 96-hour median lethal concentrations (LC 50 ) of copper on juvenile P. monodon as 3130 and 7730 µg/L in seawater of 15‰ (i.e., PSU) and 25‰, respectively.…”
