Effect of different concentration levels of silver nanoparticles on blood factors and serum biochemical parameters in farmed shirbut (Barbus grypus) in Khuzestan province

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of nanoparticles on blood factors and serum biochemical parameters of Barbus gyrpus. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 150 shirbut (with average weight of 40.12±9.01 g) in five treatments and three replicates (n=10 in each replicate). The treatments included control group (G1) without using nonoparticles, and experimental groups (treatments G2, G3, G4 and G5) with nonoparticle concentrations of 1.10 LC50, 1.20 LC50, 1.40 LC50 and 1.80 LC50, respectively. Hematological and biochemical parameters were measured on days 0, 7, 14 and 21. The red blood counts showed a significant increase in G3, G4 and G5 on days 7, 14 and 21 (P 0.05). Cholesterol level in treatment G3 on days 14 and 21, and treatments G4 and G5 on days 7, 14 and 21 was significantly reduced (P
