Abstract:
Quinclorac shows acute toxicity to
Carassius auratus.Under the concentration of 1/2,1/4,1/6 and 1/8 LC
50 of quinclorac,its effects on gill and liver Na
+-K
+ -ATPase, and Mg
2+ -ATPase activities were studied.Results indicated that:(1)At the water temperature of 23±1 ℃,the LC
50 value of 25% EC quinclorac to
Carassius auratus at the 24th, 48th,72th and 96th hour was 151.64,150.92,149.60 and 149.14 mg·L
-1 ,respectively,so it is a kind of low toxicity pesticide.(2)The inhibition of Na
+-K
+ -ATPase and Mg
2+ -ATPase in gill and liver increased with the concentration of quinclorac,showing a striking dose response relationship,which can,therefore,be used as a good biomarker for quinclorac pollution.Mechanisms of the inhibition of Na
+-K
+ -ATPase、Mg
2+ -ATPase by quinclorac were also discussed.
