Resumen:
Abstract Prochilodus lineatus, a fish, was exposed to
sublethal concentrations of cypermethrin: 0.075, 0.150, and
0.300 lg L-1 and a control group (without cypermethrin)
for 96 h. Five specimens were exposed in each concentration
for triplicate (n = 60). Hepatic biochemical values
and behavioral changes were studied. The results revealed
a significantly higher level of aspartate aminotransferase,
alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase in
hepatic tissue at different concentrations of cypermethrin
tested compared to control (p\0.05). A decrease in total
protein was observed in exposed groups but not significantly
(p[0.05). This study provides information to know
toxic mechanisms of cypermethrin on hepatic enzymes of
P. lineatus that are poorly understood.
