abstract = "Toxicological assessment of S-metolachlor, synthetic organic herbicide frequently used for efficient
weeds control, was the subject of the present study. Two exposure experiments (acute - 4 day and subacute - 28 days) were conducted on five months old common carp originated from the same family from the selective breeding program. 96h LCso was calculated to be 16.31 mg L', which is generally high value, since environmental concentrations of S-metolachlor are usually determined to be below 1 mg L'. Concerning this, three concentrations were set for a subacute test, carried out in triplicates: C0 - 0.0 mg L', C1 -0.5 mgl', C2 -1.4 mg L', C3 -4.1 mg L' Biomarkers used for the assessment of fish health status were: histopathology of gills and liver, as well as nuclear abnormalities on erythrocytes. Histological assessment found a number of alterations in both
sampled tissues: hyperaemia, presence of eosinophilic granular cells, epithelial lifting, hyperplasia of epithelial cells and focal necrosis in gills; leukocyte infiltration, hyperaemia, fibrosis of blood vessels and focal necrosis in liver. Only two of all mentioned alterations (epithelial lifting and gills hyperemia) had higher levels in the control, while majority were absent from control group. Different morphological abnormalities were noticed on the erythrocyte nuclei: micronucleus, nuclear buds, fragmented-apoptotic, and bi-nucleated cells. Almost all alterations, either
histopathological or nuclear, were higher compared to control, but due to the high variation in between groups, statistical significance was not established. This study confirms low toxicity of S-metolachlor to common carp,",
