ABSTRACT
Bisphenol A (BPA), an important component of the plastics industry, is characterized as an
endocrine disrupting toxic substance for aquatic organisms. This study focused on the toxic effects
of BPA on endangered Danube sturgeon larvae (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii). In the study, LC50 values
for five different BPA concentrations (100, 200, 400, 800, 1200 μg/L) were observed as 803.4 μg/L,
63.1 μg/L, and 39.6 μg/L at 24th, 48th a nd 72nd hours, respectively. Especially, the lethal effect of BPA
on the larvae was remarkable after the 24th hour. On the other hand, histopathological changes were
examined based on the LC50 value at the 24th hour. Vacuolization symptom was noted in the gills of the
larvae. In addition, vacuolization and melanomacrophage centers caused a severe degradation in liver
and kidney tissues of BPA group. In the intestine, the number of goblet cells per ville was lower in the
BPA group. As a result, it has been proven by LC50 and histopathological studies that BPA has high
toxicity in A. gueldenstaedtii larvae.
