Abstract

Statement of the problem: biological monitoring provides a useful tool to estimate the genetic risk deriving from an integrated exposure to a complex mixture of chemicals. Aquatic organisms are then briefly exposed to a complex mixture of contaminants. The purpose: This study is to estimate the genotoxic effect of fungicide antracol wp-63 in erythrocytes of fish rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Methodology & theoretical orientation: the fish treated with four different concentration (7, 5, 4, 3 ml/ 40 l water) of fungicide Antracol wp-63, for 8 day. From each individual-fish, scored 2000 erythrocytes. For each fish prepare 2 slides. Findings: the results show significant increase of number of micronuclei per 2000 erythrocytes of fish, compared with control group. Conclusion & significance: based in obtained results we can conclude that insecticide chromagor has Genotoxic effect.
