| Abstract : Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles were exposed to different concentrations of Folidol 600r in static toxicity tests. The 24, 48, 72 and 96 h LC50 values of Folidol 600R to O. niloticus were 17.82, 8.91, 4.00 and 2.70 mg L-1, respectively. The values of hematological parameters increased, and inhibition of cholinesterases activity (AChE, BChE and PChE) in plasma of fish exposed to the higher concentrations of pesticide reached 94%. Furthermore, the exposure of Tilapia to Folidol 600R caused an increase of 4%, 20% and 38.4% in oxygen consumption at 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mg L-1, respectively. However, exposure to 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg L-1 caused a decrease of 33.6%, 35.2% and 42.4% in oxygen consumption relative to the control. The ammonium excretion of fish exposed to 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg Folidol 600R/L was 0.12, 0.18, 0.30, 0.33, 0.37, 0.36 and 0.33 ug/g/min, i.e., 50%, 150%, 175%, 208%, 200% and 175% increase, respectively, relative to the control. |
