| Summary: | This study examines the physiological and immunological effects of 0.5 ppm carbaryl exposure on juvenile Asian seabass (<i>Lates calcarifer</i>) over 12 h to 72 h. Notable results include decreased activities of liver enzymes catalase (CAT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), while superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels remained stable, with the lowest activities of CAT and GSH-PX observed at 72 h. Serum biochemistry revealed increased alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and acid phosphatase (ACP) at 24 h, with declining aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and a peak in creatinine at 48 h. Histopathological analysis showed carbaryl-induced necrosis in liver and spleen cells, and increased melanomacrophage centers in both organs. Additionally, immune gene expression analysis indicated an upregulation of heat shock proteins and consistent elevation of complement component C3 and interleukin-8 (IL-8). These findings suggest that carbaryl exposure significantly impairs organ function and modulates immune responses in <i>L. calcarifer</i>, underlining the need for further research on protective strategies against pesticide impacts in aquaculture. |
