The mechanisms of acute copper and silver toxicity in freshwater organisms appear similar.
Both result in inhibition of branchial sodium (and chloride) uptake initiating a cascade of …

In its ionic form, silver (Ag+) is highly toxic to fish (96‐h 50% lethal concentration [LC50]: low
μg/L range). However, concentrations of Ag+ in aquatic environments are extremely low and …

When looking for a book on fish toxicology, you might find one that discusses the
biochemical and molecular aspects, or one that focuses aquatic toxicology in general. You …

This chapter discusses a very few of thousands of toxicants now present in natural waters.
The gills of a fish constitute a multifunctional organ (respiration, ionoregulation, acid-base …

Emerging data suggests that some types of nanoparticles (NPs) are toxic to fish, and given
the well-known toxicity of dissolved metals, there are also concerns about whether metal …

The cellular changes in gill tissue induced by exposure to copper were studied in the
tropical freshwater fish Prochilodus scrofa, with emphasis on chloride and pavement cells …

The individual toxicity and bioaccumulation of cadmium, copper and zinc for common carp
juveniles was evaluated in a direct comparison in two experimental setups. First, fish were …

Copper is an essential trace metal that is required for several important biological
processes, however, an excess of copper can be toxic to cells. Therefore, systemic and …

Nano‐copper oxides are a versatile inorganic material. As a result of their versatility, the
immense applications and usage end up in the environment causing a concern for the …

The paper reviews the evidence for apparent sodium-dependent copper (Cu) uptake across
epithelia such as frog skin, fish gills and vertebrate intestine. Potential interactions between …
