Fyziologické a molekulární odezvy vodních organizmů na účinky chemických látek
CHUPANI, Latifeh
The biochemical and physiological responses of organisms to xenobiotic chemicals have been investigated for many years as general indicators of organism health. These markers have been used in the development of the synthetic pharmaceuticals and screening of effects of environmental pollutant on biological systems, and in clarifying their modes of action. Recently, use of "OMICS" approaches has received great attentions in exploring the effects of chemical contaminants at the molecular level and is one of the rapidly developing areas in the field of toxicology. Use of molecular response within aquatic organisms has been reviewed and are considered as early changes occurring in response to chemical exposure. ZnO NPs are widely used and possess great potentials in food industry and agriculture. Their subsequent release into environment has raised concerns about their potential effects on aquatic organisms. Although, the dietary exposure perhaps is the main route to expose aquatic animals to nanomaterials, the majority of studies are focused on assessment of waterborne exposure. The molecular mechanisms inducing their toxicity on biological system even less investigated. The present study was conducted to explore weather ZnO NPs can be accumulated in internal organs of carp, as a model fish, as well as to assess fish responses to the presence of ZnO NPs in the feed at protein, biochemical, and histological levels. Our results showed nor apparent accumulation of ZnO NPs neither major changes in haematological parameters, lipid peroxidation level, and histology of internal tissues. Our observations showed that 500 mg ZnO NPs per kg of feed caused changes in pathways and the level of proteins associated with cell motility, immune system response, protein synthesis, cell metabolism, and cell survival in intestine as well as it affected the proteins related to immune system in serum. Treated fish underwent these physiological and molecular changes probably attempted to adjust to ZnO NPs as an external stressor. These changes can be considered as compensatory mechanisms to maintenance homeostasis which have an associated energetic cost. If energetic demands to cope with stress exceeds the capacity of limit, then organism's health will be negatively affected. In the second part of study, peracetic acid in tested therapeutic doses (1 and 3 mg L-1 in grass carp and 10 mg L-1 in signal crayfish) caused some histological alterations in gills as well as changes in the activities of antioxidant enzyme in treated animals. It seems that the observed changes were not large enough to induce mortality in treated animals. According our observation after recovery period, it seems that those changes are reversible if it is followed by a sufficient recovery period allowing animals to restore their disturbed homeostasis. However, species-specific differences should be considered while treating more sensitive species. Toward establishing a safe application guideline, more studies will be required to investigate the given issues.

Use of peracetic acid in pond aquaculture
FRANĚK, Roman
The aim of the thesis was to verify use of peracetic acid (PAA) in production conditions for ectoparasites control in carp pond farming. First test was about evaluation of organic load in pond water on speed PAA decay in two temperature regime (11 15 and 21 °C). Results showed that between 3 6 hours from PAA application the concentration of PAA was under a half of the initial concentration (6 mg.l-1). Also statically important differences (p= < 0.05) were found in speed of decay between samples with organic load (3 samples from ponds) and samples without organic load (distilled and tap water) in both temperature regimes. Application of PAA during the transport of fish into the transport boxes was performed in three age categories (1, 2 and 3 years old common carps), where the fish were exposed for 60 90 minutes in 1.5 mg.l-1 PAA as Persteril 36. Parasitic examinations of skin and gills showed reduction of number protozoal parasites (Trichodina spp. and Apiosoma spp.) in individuals comparing with control. Against other detected parasites was PAA ineffective. Statistical evaluation showed significant (p= <0.05) decrease in prevalence only in 3 cases out of 19 in total. Long-term four days long fish bath of carps which were heavily infested by Saprolegnia parasitica in 1.5 mg.l-1 PAA an positive effect on the overall survival was found. In the control group mortality reached 100 % the third day of trial, in contrast with treated group where was Saprolegnia parasitica succesfuly eliminated and overall moratily was 40 %. Continual fourteen days long application of PAA by peristaltic pump did not proved.

Possibilities of the use of peracetic acid in therapy of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)
ŠAUER, Pavel
The aim of the present study was to assess an influence of two different therapeutical concentrations of peracetic acid on selected haematological and biochemical parameters in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Fish were radomly distributed to aquaria and exposed to concentrations of 0 mg.l-1 PAA (control group), 1.0 mg.l-1 PAA (P1 group), 3.0 mg.l-1 PAA (P2 group). Almost total mortality of fish was observed in the concentration 3.0 mg.l-1 PAA during the treatment comparing with the P1 group and untreated control where no mortality was observed. After the end of the experimental exposure of fish to peracetic acid, the sampling of blood has been realised. The samples of the blood were examined in order to determine haematological and biochemical parameters. Consequently, there were no significant differences (p<0.05) in a haematological profile of fish exposed to concentration of 1.0 mg.l-1 PAA. Goblet cells count and size have risen, that caused exposure of fish to peracetic acid. In the biochemical profile of fish, significant changes (p<0.01) in three parameters were found after exposure of fish to peracetic acid in concentration 1.0 mg.l-1. Changed parameters were: aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. The changes were moderate and it can be supposed that these changes are reversible. No significant change (p<0.05) in haematological parameters points out to the minimum negative influence of recommended therapeutical concntration (1.0 mg.l-1 PAA) to the health of C. idella.

Influence of antiparasitic baths of fish on haematological and biochemical indicators
MECKO, Jozef
The aim of the diploma thesis was to evaluate the influence of antiparasitic baths on selected biochemical and haematological parameters in the blood samples of fish. According to the results the application schema will be specified or amended such alterations will be substantiated. A test was performed on the fry of carp (naked and scaly form) to evaluate the influence of the peractetic acid with the help of biochemical and haematological parameters and with the histopathological examination. The common carp was exposed to the concetration 1 mg?l-1 and 2 mg?l-1 of PAA. Three days after application was taken the blood samples from fish and the biochemical and haematological parameters were determined. Than was taken a sample of skin with the musculature from fish to be sent for the histopathological examination in University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno. Based on the results the naked form of the carp has been declared to be more sensitive to the application of PAA. All the observed changes in haematological and biochemical parameters were within physiological range, so it can be stated, that the application schema of PAA has not a signifiant negative influence on the health of the tested fish.
