Abstract

It has been revealed that, as a rule, Roundup herbicide inhibits activities of peptidases in the intestine mucosa and chyme in various fish species, both benthivorous (common carp Cyprinus carpio, silver bream Blicca bjoerkna, roach Rutilus rutilus, and crucian carp Carassius carassius) and piscivorous (perch Perca fluviatilis, pike Esox lucius, and sander Sander lucioperca). The tolerance of peptidases to the herbicide is species-specific. The magnitude and vector of the effects of Roundup depend on its concentration and localization of an enzyme. In the mucosa, the enzymes of common carp and pike are most tolerant, while the enzymes of common carp, silver bream, and pike are most tolerant in the chyme.
