19208446 Ballesteros ML, Durando PE, Nores ML, Diaz MP, Bistoni MA, Wunderlin DA: Endosulfan induces changes in spontaneous swimming activity and acetylcholinesterase activity of Jenynsia multidentata (Anablepidae, Cyprinodontiformes). Environ Pollut. 2009 May;157(5):1573-80. Epub 2009 Feb 8.
We assessed changes in spontaneous swimming activity and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity of Jenynsia multidentata exposed to Endosulfan (EDS). Females of J. multidentata were exposed to 0.072 and 1.4 microg L (-1) EDS. Average speed and movement percentage were recorded during 48 h. We also exposed females to EDS at five concentrations between 0.072 and 1.4 microg L (-1) during 24 h, and measured the AchE activity in brain and muscle. At 0.072 microg L (-1) EDS swimming motility decreased relative to the control group after 45 h, while at 1.4 microg L (-1) EDS swimming motility decreased after 24 h. AchE activity significantly decreased in muscle when J. multidentata were exposed to EDS above 0.072 microg L (-1), while no significant changes were observed in brain. Thus, changes in swimming activity and AchE activity in muscle are good biomarkers of exposure to EDS in J. multidentata.
