Hematological and physiological changes induced by short-term exposure to copper in the freshwater fish, Prochilodus scrofa

Hematological and physiological changes in the blood of juveniles of the freshwater fish, Prochilodus scrofa were determined after acute exposure to 20, 25, and 29 mugCu L-1 in water (pH 7.5; hardness 24.5 mg L-1 as CaCO3) for 96 h. Copper exposure to 25 and 29 mugCu L-1 caused significant increase...
