Acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic that has been detected in many water bodies with few reports concerning its potential toxicity to fish. This study sought assess the developmental, swimming performance and cardiovascular activities of embryo/larvae catfish (Clarias gariepinus) exposed acetaminophen. The Organization for Economic Development (OECD) Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity Test (OECD 236) was employed. Fertilized embryo were different concentrations acetaminophen (0, 0.5, 1, 10...
The occurrence of pesticides in our environment as a result the indiscriminate or intentional use has resulted its persistence environment, thereby affecting ecosystems and non target organisms. Acute chronic pesticide poisoning usually results from consumption contaminated food, chemical accident industries occupational exposure agriculture. About 15,000 metric tons comprising about 135 chemicals are imported annually into country. They major causes cancer, cardiovascular disease,...
One hundred and twenty normal post juvenile catfish (Clarias gariepinus) of both sexes with a mean weight 135.44±1.99 g length 28.32±0.844 cm were purchased from Osayi farm. They kept in 60 l aquaria at 27.5±0.4 ◦C, pH 7.3, 12:12 h photoperiod, well aerated, provided external filtration layer gravel on the bottom. Histopathological alteration brain tissues when fish exposed to various concentrations (18 mg/L, 32mg/L 75 mg/L) glyphosate for period 7 – 28 days revealed that hervicide may be...
Anaerobic digestion is an established sustainable route for managing the organic fraction of municipal solid waste. The commonly adopted mono waste often beset by many challenges chief which process instability. This study assessed role biochar in stability and pathogen fate batch co-digestion food (FW) cattle rumen content (CRC). Biochar had different functional groups, a large surface area (627.50 m2/g), pore volume (0.32 cm3/g). amendments helped stabilize pH reduce accumulation volatile...
Recently in Nigeria, cultural eutrophication is on the increase water bodies. Observations from land use around riverine areas are predominantly for farmland and explain high level of phosphate runoff during rainy season. Increased siltation, deforestation, flooding, lumbering activities other perturbation among causes eutrophication. Aquatic animals usually suffer hypoxia anoxia anesthetic quality recreational activities, like swimming, boating picnic reduced. The Federal Ministry...
Water pollution, particularly, surface water results from all activities of man involving indiscriminate waste disposal industry such as effluents into waterways, waste, agricultural and forms man’s that in contamination the water. Wastewater samples were collected two (2) carefully selected industries Physico-Chemical parameters analyzed compared to FEPA (Federal Environmental Protection Agency) standard. DO analysis ranged 6.5 – 9.7mg/l, BOD value range 3.2 8.8mg/l, there was no...
Assessing the effect of glyphosate herbicide on post Juvenile Africa catfish Clarias gariepinus using specific biochemical markers could provide vital information concerning health status with regards to electrolyte determination.The sub-lethal indices juvenile C. exposed revealed significant increase (p<0.05) in serum electrolytes, Potassium (K + ), Sodium (Na Chloride (Cl -) compared control. I.
This study examines the effects of elevated soil carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations on spring wheat and chemical properties in Sutton Bonington Campus, University Nottingham, United Kingdom using Artificial Soil Gassing Response Detection (ASGARD) facility which controls CO2 injection into soil. Eight plots (each 2.5 x 2.5m) were laid out within experimental area used for treated with high (area 75cm from point injection), low concentration farther than 75 cm injection) no (control) at rate...
<title>Abstract</title> The extensive use of systemic neonicotinoid insecticides in agriculture is a significant factor contributing to pollution aquatic systems. Currently, there no comprehensive data available on the effects imidacloprid and other neonicotinoids fish (<italic>Clarias gariepinus</italic>) biochemical behavioral parameters. Several biomarkers, as well mortality, alterations, changes, were assessed determine impact <italic>Clarias gariepinus</italic>. results demonstrated...
The formulation of glyphosate composed Isopropylamine salt (41 % wt) is widely used as herbicide both in the terrestrial and aquatic environment. This study examined toxicity surfactant to post juvenile African catfish (Clarias gariepinus).. experimental design was based on standard Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) method with interval time 24, 48, 72 96 hrs. Gulping air, restlessness, surface bottom movement, sudden quick movement excessive resting at were abnormal behaviour observed exposed...
