| dc.description.abstract | This study assessed the embryo-toxic and teratogenic activities of Perna viridis and Pomacea canaliculata ethanolic extracts in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo model. Embryos at segmentation phase were exposed to the varying concentrations of both extracts and the mortality, hearbeat rate, hatchability and teratogenic effects were determined. The results showed that both extracts exhibited toxic effect at 10,000 ppm and teratogenic activity at 1000 ppm concentrations in zebrafish embryos. A 100% mortality was observed at 10,000 ppm of both extracts in all observation periods. Both extracts significantly reduced the heartbeat rate and percentage hatchability of zebra fish. Delayed growth was the most noticeable teratogenic effect of both extracts. however, malformation were observed only to those exposed at 1000 ppm of P. canaliculata including bent tail and yolk deformity. | |
