Toxicity of environmental Gesagard to goldfish may be connected with induction of low intensity oxidative stress in concentration- and tissue-related manners

Pesticide toxicity: a mechanistic approach

“…However, histological changes are not as easily and objectively assessed as are biochemical markers and may require substantial experience by the researcher (Ewald, 1995[ 50 ]). The results of our studies, in particular the histopathological changes, indicate that goldfish exposure to the triazine herbicides, Sencor and Gesagard, over 96 h caused severe deleterious effects which could be related to liver and kidney dysfunction (Hodgson and Goldstein, 2001[ 74 ]; Maksymiv et al, 2015[ 114 ]; Mosiichuk et al, 2015[ 123 ]). The histological analysis of control fish showed normal liver and kidney structures (Figure 7A and 7C (Fig.…”

Studies on persistent organic pollutants residue in water, sediment and fish tissues of river Sutlej, India

“…Gills are most vulnerable organs to water borne contaminants like pesticides because of their direct exposure. (Mosiichuk et al, 2015). Vivek et al (2016) in their study found various structural aberrations like fusion of gill lamella, epithelial hyper-plasia, lamellar degeneration etc.…”
