[The effect of the duration of methoxyethylmercury acetate exposure on the lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)].
The purpose of this work was to study possible hematological changes in carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) which might be induced by the experimental poisoning with metoxyethylmercury acetate which is used as fungicide. The experimental group of fishes was exposed to the named substance which was mixed with the feed during three weeks. The total lymphocytes number decreased in experimental group already at 7th day (p < 0.01), and remained almost at the same level, but considerably lower than the experimental group, until the end of the experiment. The number of small lymphocytes in the experimental group decreased also at the 7th day of the experiment (p < 0.01), and the decreasing tendency continued up to the end of the experiment. The number of large lymphocytes increased at the day 7th of the experiment (p < 0.01), and the increasing tendency continued until the end of the experiment. The population of large lymphocytes showed the cytopathological changes in the form of cytoplasmic vacuoles and cytoplasmic shoots. The frequency of these changes increased through the experiments.
