Abstract

Growing applications of nanotechnology necessitates understanding of nanotoxicity. The toxicity of nanoparticles has gained special attraction amongst various toxicological studies, but restricted data are available on its toxic effects on aquatic organisms. An attempt has been made in present investigation to determine toxicity of NPs of Ag and ZnO and their metal ions to major carp catla. Protein content in muscle tissues of the fingerlings varied with concentration of the selected toxicants and exposure time (5–15 days); however, significant decrease was observed in silver and ZnO NPs exposed fingerlings as compared to control. This depletion in the total protein might be due to the diversification of energy to accomplish the impending energy demands when fingerlings are under toxic stress.
