abstract = {Chronic toxicity and bioacumulation of diclofop-methyl (Iloxan
36% EC) in tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus was investigated. Fish
was exposed to two sub-lethal concentrations 1/10 (0.19 mg L-1, low
concentration) and 1/3 (0.63 mg L-1, high concentration) of determined
96 h-LC50, 1.89 mg L-1 for 28 days. Results indicated
that the bioaccumulation in whole fish was more than muscle. Results of biochemical
parameters were indicated that alanine aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase,
acetyl-cholinesterase activities, albumin and glucose levels were increased
significantly with both exposed concentrations comparing to control. However,
significant increases were shown in aspartate aminotransferases and total protein
levels with low concentration. On the other hand, high concentration caused
significant increase in urea levels. Meanwhile, creatinine levels were decreased
in both exposed concentrations. Noticeable changes in antioxidants biomarkers
were recorded, a reduction in SH-protein level and an elevation in lipid peroxidation
biomarker were recorded in plasma after treatment with two concentrations.}
