Abstract

Environmental relevant concentrations of glyphosate-based herbicide as 50 mu gl(-1), 300 mu gl(-1) and 1800 mu gl(-1) can affect sperm quality of yellowtail tetra fish Astyanax lacustris. Viability of sperm cells was impaired at 300 mu gl(-1), a concentration that is within legal limits in U.S.A. waterbodies, while motility was impaired at 50 mu gl(-1), which is the more stringent limit set in Brazilian law. Therefore, environment protection agencies must review regulations of glyphosate-based herbicides on water bodies. (AU)
