The effects of a chronic environmental exposure to metals on the hormonal, physiological,
and reproductive status were assessed in yellow perch (Perca flavescens) sampled in six …

Copper sulfate is regularly used in the aquaculture industry as an algicide and for the
treatment of various ectoparasitic infections. In this study, male and female channel catfish …

We compared the effects of sublethal waterborne copper exposure on swimming
performance and respiration rates in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, with those in less …

In general, copper is primarily an osmoregulatory toxicant to fish and Cu toxicity is thought to
be related to the rate of sodium loss. Looking at a previous research it is striking that gibel …

Acutely lethal (24 h) exposure of adult rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to 4.9 μmol
copper· l-1 in fresh water (pH 7.9,[Ca 2+]≈ 0.8 mEq· l-1) caused a rapid decline of plasma …

Mortality and physiological tests following exposure to waterborne copper were performed in
the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii from a central Italian population. Mortality tests …

Adult and juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, were exposed for 30 days to CdCl 2
in water (10 and 25 μg Cd/L for adults, and 1 and 5 μg Cd/L for juveniles) to investigate …

In freshwater (FW), many of the main mechanisms of copper (Cu) toxicity have been
characterized; however, toxicity mechanisms in seawater (SW) are less well understood. We …

Fed and starved yearling roach, Rutilus rutilus. were subjected to a sublethal copper
contamination of 80 μg Cu× l− 1 for 7 days. Copper accumulation was determined by atomic …

To protect cells from toxicity, metal-sensitive cellular compartments must be insulated
against essential but toxic metals [such as copper (Cu)] accumulated in excess of metabolic …
