Özet

The conductivity is largely determined by ion levels in water, predominant ion being Ca2+ in the freshwaters. For this reason, the effects of copper were evaluated as a matter of conductivity of exposure media in the present study. Thus, freshwater fish Oreochromis niloticus were exposed to copper in differing conductivities (77, 163 and 330 mu S/cm), using acute (0.3 mu M, 3 d) and chronic (0.03 mu M, 30 d) exposure protocols. Following the exposure serum parameters of fish were measured.
