title: Modulations in the levels of respiration and ions in carp Cyprinus carpio (L.) exposed to cypermethrin.
abstract: This paper reports an investigation of the sublethal toxicity of cypermethrin (20 µg/l) on the levels of respiration and selected ions in tissues of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). A significant decrease in O 2 consumption and ions was observed in gill, brain, liver and muscle tissues of cypermethrinexposed fish. The decreased rate of O 2 consumption may be due to inhibition of oxidative enzymes during cypermethrin stress.
