Abstract
Deltamethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide harmful for poikilolthermal vertebrates as fish are. During deltamethrin metabolism, overproduction of free radicals occurs and cellular oxidative stress appeared. In order to evaluate the deltamethrin toxicity in fish, we analyzed, by light microscopy, liver, kidney and gonads fragments prelevated from individuals of Carassius auratus gibelio exposed for 1, 2, 3, 7 and respectively 14 days to deltamethrin 2?g/L. Deltamethrin induced hepatic, gonadal and renal toxicity. The structure of liver and kidney was damaged. The decrease of spermatozoa number is a severe effect affecting the reproductive potential of the animals.
