Abstract

We carried out a caging field experiment to assess the potential effects of an untreated, sewage effluent on the health status of Prochilodus lineatus. We analyzed multiple biomarker, responses, which included morphological indices, biochemical and hematological parameters as well, as oxidative stress markers. In addition, we investigated the energetic demand of that exposure. Our, findings showed that fish caged at the effluent showed a differential physiologic profile, suggesting a, strong impact on fish health. Particularly, mortality, monocytosis, transaminase increase, antioxidant, enzyme activation, lipid oxidative damage in several tissues and hepatic and muscle glycogen depletion, were observed. According to multivariate analysis, oxidative stress markers and metabolic parameters, were key biomarkers to contribute in separating fish caged at effluent site from those caged at, upstream and downstream sites. So, these biomarkers allied to a caging strategy are recommended for, future environmental monitoring assessments.
