Comparative toxicity of silver nanoparticle and ionic silver in juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio): Accumulation, physiology and histopathology

Many studies have investigated the potential negative effects of silver on aquatic organisms, but most focused on short-term exposure in few species. Moreover, there are many uncertainties about differences in potential toxicity mechanisms and adverse effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and ionic form of silver (AgNO3). We investigated chronic effects of AgNPs and AgNO3 on the juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio). AgNPs and AgNO3...
