Changes in the Some Biochemical Constituents in Fry of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) Exposed to Imidacloprid

This study was conducted to investigate the possible toxic effects of imidacloprid biochemical parameters of carp. The fish (weight 0,34±0,03 g, total length 2,97±0,21 cm) were subjected to 2,8 and 5,6 mg L-1 of Imidacloprid concentration for 4 and 7 days. Alterations were observed in glycogene, total protein, and total fat activities in the whole body of carp. No mortalities occurred in any group during the test. The glycogene and total protein levels in imidacloprid treated fishes were significantly (p<0,05) lower than the control in all the concentrations. Total fat levels were higher in imidacloprid treatment groups, which were not significantly different. This study was conducted to investigate the possible toxic effects of imidacloprid biochemical parameters of carp.
