AB  - Chronic toxicity and bioacumulation of diclofop-methyl (Iloxan 
  36% EC) in tilapia fish (<I>Oreochromis niloticus</I> was investigated. Fish 
  was exposed to two sub-lethal concentrations 1/10 (0.19 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP>, low 
  concentration) and 1/3 (0.63 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP>, high concentration) of determined 
  96 h-LC<SUB>50</SUB>, 1.89 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP> 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.
