Responses of Fluvalinate Induced Stress in Hematological and Biochemical Parameters of Lake Van Fish (Alburnus Tarichi Guldenstadt 1814)

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the toxicity of fluvalinate to Lake Van fish (Alburnus tarichi) biometric, hematologic, and serum biochemicals. The fish were exposed to sub lethal fluvalinate concentration for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h for hematological and biochemical analyzes. Red blood cell, hemoglobin and hematocrit values decreased significantly in fish exposed to fluvalinate compared to control group. Significant increases in total leukocyte count were found. Compared with the control group, the serum enzyme aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase activity and serum glucose levels have increased significantly. This synthetic pyrethroid can be said to have a toxic effect on the Lake Van fish and can be used for controlling toxicity. © 2020 SYSCOM 18 S.R.L.. All rights reserved.
