Abstract:
The use of gills, liver, and kidneys as histological biomarkers was evaluated in a chronic toxicity analysis with herbicide Roundup® in piauçu (Leporinus macrocephalus). The animals were exposed to 1/10 of LC50 (1.58mg/L), during a period of 14 and 28 days. Five animals were used for treatment (days 0, 14, and 28). Hepatic hemorrhage and necrosis and renal congestion were the alterations that presented differences between exposed and non-exposed animals. Among the organs used as histological biomarkers, the liver presented the best results, followed by the kidneys.
