Evaluation of the neurotoxic effects of chronic embryonic exposure with inorganic mercury on motor and anxiety-like responses in zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae
Embryonic exposure to low dose of inorganic mercury (100 nM) decreased tail coiling and motor activity in zebrafish larvae. Embryonic exposure to low dose of inorganic mercury alters anxiety-like responses in zebrafish larvae. Exposure to HgCl2 during critical period of CNS development may impair neuromotor functions in zebrafish larvae.
