Abstract

This research aimed to study the toxicity of glyphosate on black rice crab (Sayarmia spp.) by assessing the mortality rates and alterations in gill tissue and hepatopancreas. The crab was exposed to glyphosate in different concentrations: 0.02, 0.2, 2 and 20 ml L-1 of water mixed within 1 kg of clay from rice paddy. After exposed, mortality rates at 96 h were 20, 80 and 100% at the concentrations of 0.2, 2 and 20 ml L-1, consecutively. The LC50 values of black rice crab at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after exposure were 25.98, 12.55, 3.65 and 0.97 ml L-1, respectively. The alterations in gill tissue occurred were edema and infiltration of haemocytes;             in addition, there were distended lumen, damaged myoepithelial layer, large vacuole and necrosis in hepatopancreas.  These alterations depended on exposure time and glyphosate concentration.  Based on                  the results, it concluded that glyphosate adversely affected on black rice crab in both mortality rate and tissue alteration; thus, the black rice crab can be used as biomonitor for glyphosate contamination in the aquatic organism. Keywords : LC50, probit analysis, glyphosate, black rice crab, histology
