Abstract
The dynamic development of nanotechnology focused the attention of nanotoxycological literature. Little research was done in the area related to the exposure of fish to nanoparticles in vivo through the digestive tract. This work discusses the issue on the basis of the example of larval and juvenile ide Leuciscus idus (L.). In this experiment the control group was established and fed with commercial feed (group “K”) and a group of fish fed with silver nanoparticles of nominal concentration of 5 mg l-1 and 50 mg l-1 (group “5”, group “50”). The experiment lasted 90 days. Growth, condition and survival of fish were analyzed. The histological image of intestines, liver and gills was examined. The growth of fish on the 30th and 60th days of the experiment showed the positive effect of an addition of Ag nanoparticles to the feed, similarly to the condition of the fish in group 5 on the 90th day of the experiment. The presence of silver nanoparticles in the feed affected the survival of fish. In the intestines, liver and gills of fish exposed to Ag nanoparticles pathological changes were observed.
