Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the value and applicability of multivariate tools for assessing hematological and plasma biochemical responses of fish living in treated wastewater. Various data analysis methods and modeling techniques were applied to identify clustering based on parameters, significant variables, and correlations between observed variables and samples collected at different places and seasons. The prediction models showed better performance in fall variables for predicting various blood parameters from fish and demonstrated high applicability for multiple purposes.

Summary: The indiscriminate use of pesticides has resulted in environmental contamination and pest resistance, prompting the development of less hazardous formulations. This study investigated the potential toxic effects of the commercial insecticide ZEUS (R) on tilapia, revealing alterations in biochemical markers and histological changes in the fish following exposure. The findings highlight the need for further understanding of the toxicity effects of ZEUS (R) and suggest that the commercial mixture may have similar or even lower adverse effects on freshwater fish compared to individual compounds.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of the antipsychotic drug haloperidol on juvenile Clarias gariepinus. It found that exposure to the drug led to changes in hematological and biochemical parameters in the fish, including reduced red blood cell count and increased neutrophil count. However, these effects dissipated after 5 days of drug withdrawal.

Summary: The present study establishes the reference intervals for hematological and serum biochemical parameters of Schizothorax esocinus, a fish species that plays a major role in the food and livelihood of the colder zone of the Himalayan region. The study also reveals that certain blood measurands, such as red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and serum glucose, are higher in males compared to females, while white blood cell count and serum cholesterol level are higher in females.

Summary: The study examined the hematological, biochemical, and oxidative stress changes in calves undergoing propofol anesthesia with different dosages. Significant propofol influence on blood and biochemical parameters was observed, along with an increase in total antioxidant capacity and uric acid levels. Despite subtle alterations in blood and biochemical parameters, propofol was found to have antioxidative effects and was deemed safe for anesthesia maintenance in calves.

Summary: Dietary chitosan significantly improved muscle growth, nutrient and mineral contents, hematological parameters, lactic acid bacterium abundance, and digestive enzyme activities, while inhibiting pathogenic bacteria growth in fish. Increasing dietary chitosan levels enhanced muscle protein content and reduced lipid content. The addition of 1 g kg(-1) dietary chitosan showed the highest benefits for treated B. gonionotus, indicating its potential for safe use in aquaculture.

Summary: The present study investigated the genotoxic effects of pyridaben (PDB) in male Sprague Dawley rats. Four groups of rats were exposed to different doses of PDB for 4 weeks. Blood samples, femoral bone marrow, and liver samples were collected for various analyses. The results showed changes in hematological and biochemical parameters, increased gene expression of IL-6 and Casp-3, and histopathological findings in the liver with PDB exposure. However, there was no significant change in chromosomal aberrations.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of transport stress on the hematological and biochemical responses in male and female bullfrogs. The results showed that frogs can rapidly recover homeostasis within 24 hours after transport, but a decrease in energy reserves and red blood series is observed between 24 and 48 hours after transport.

Summary: The diets of ornamental aquaculture and aquarium fish can significantly affect their health and welfare. This study analyzed the digestive tract structure of two Anabantoidei fishes, African bush fish and paradise fish, and found that the African bush fish is better adapted to carnivorous feeding. These results will contribute to the development of better feeding strategies for these fish and improve their health.

Summary: Hematological analysis is a commonly used method to assess the physiological state of fish, and it includes various parameters related to blood cells and thrombocytes. It is an important tool in evaluating the impact of substances on fish in ecotoxicology and pharmacotoxicology, together with biochemical and histopathological analyses. The advantages of hematological analysis include its simplicity and cost-effectiveness, while the limitations lie in the requirement of experienced personnel. There is a need for more research on the effects of xenobiotics on the cellular structure of fish head kidney hematopoietic tissue, and we recommend conducting research using both hematological and hematopoietic analysis to assess the impact of toxic substances on fish.

Summary: Inadequate stocking density can lead to different physiological responses in fish. This study analyzed the impact of stocking density on water quality, hematological and biochemical profiles, and productive performance of juvenile Arapaima gigas. Results showed that while stocking density influenced water quality and physiological characteristics, it did not significantly affect the productive performance of the fish.

Summary: The study investigated the combined effects of water temperature, chemical concentration, and duration of exposure to the neonicotinoid thiacloprid on marbled crayfish. It was found that at higher temperatures, both concentrations of thiacloprid showed a synergistic effect on biochemical indicators, leading to changes and damage in blood and tissue structures.

Summary: Exposure to chloridazon and its metabolite chloridazon-desphenyl at environmentally relevant concentrations has significant effects on the physiological and biochemical parameters of signal crayfish, including alterations in the hepatopancreas, gill, and haemolymph. Additionally, exposure leads to pathological changes in certain organs. The recovery period post-exposure is insufficient to fully restore the affected physiological parameters.

Summary: As the importance of world aquaculture production grows, the impact of viral diseases on common carp production, such as KHVD, SVC, and KSD, is a serious concern. Studies are focusing on the etiological agent CEV, and the antiviral immune response of common carp, including the production of IFNs, activation of cytotoxic cells, and antibody production by B cells.

Summary: The ecocorona of nanomaterials plays a role in influencing interactions with endogenous biomolecules, impacting the formation of a biocorona. The size of carbon nanotubes affects the proteins attached to their surface, with a preattached ecocorona influencing the formation and evolution of the biocorona. The presence of an ecocorona results in a unique surface composition for each nanotube, making the biological fate assessment of NMs challenging.

Summary: The study demonstrates that using fish cell lines for toxicological assessments shows the lower sensitivity of the RTG-2 cell line compared to other aquatic organisms. However, there is a high correlation between the RTG-2 cell line and the sensitivity of the crustacean D. magna, which is significant for toxicological evaluations.

Summary: This study found that Thiacloprid affected biochemical parameters, cell viability, antioxidant biomarkers, and lipid peroxidation in Mytilus galloprovincialis, as well as causing tissue damage. Due to its harmful potential and cumulative effects, Thiacloprid may pose a potential risk to nontarget aquatic organisms and human health. Further investigation is necessary to fully understand the extent of this risk.
