It is aimed to
determine possible alterations in gill ultrastructure of Oreochromis niloticus individuals
exposed to certain concentrations of Lambda-cyhalothrin technical formulation
with Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). At 7th, 14th and 21st days fish
exposed to 0.29 µg/L lambda-cyhalothrin were taken from the test solution. The
gills were fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde and post-fixed withosmium tetroxide,
dehydrated with ethanol and propylene oxide, and then embedded in resin. The
ultra thin sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead, and examined
with TEM. At 7th, 14th and 21st days the most common ultrastructural alteration
was deformation of pillar cells. The severity of cytopathological alterations
were increased with the duration of exposure.
