Description:
The research was accomplished in order to study behavioral and histopathological effects of Copper on
Rutilus rutilus caspicus under experimental condition. The study was performed using Water Static
Method during 96 hours. 15 fish with averaged weight 2±0.5 g in weight were encountered to different
concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 mg/l) of Copper. A group of fish was considered as control. Under
stable condition and aeration, the lethal concentration was 0.4 mg/l. Results indicated that there was
significant differences between treatments when copper concentration increased (p〈0.05). it was found
that in the high concentration of Copper nominal signs of toxicity such as convulsion, air gulping and
flared operculum were observed. Histopathological sings were hyperplasia, edema, hyperemia,
hemorrhage, expansion of Bowman’s capsule and hepatocytes necrosis. In control group no lesion was
observed
