Abstract
Potential toxic filamentous cyanobacterium Planktothrix agardhii was detected to be dominated in one of the retention ponds located in Palembang city. It showed persistent domination in the location during observations. This species is known to produce a toxin that potentially causes environmental health problems. Hepatotoxin, microcystin (the cyanotoxin most commonly detected in the freshwater environment) are known types of toxin that is produced by this species. Its potential produced a toxin that is in concern. A preliminary study was conducted to study its potential toxic effect to fish (Cyprinus carpio L.); in this study, four different concentrations of Planktothrix agardhii biomass were used to study its effects to Cyprinus carpio L. gills. The results showed the higher the biomass concentrations (5,4086 x 107 cells/ml), the shorter the length of time for the fishes to be dead (± 2-2 hours 15 minutes). The fishes also showed swimming behavior changes such as swimming direction and excessive mucus excretion. Histopathological changes of the fishes’ gills that exposed to Planktothrix agardhii., compared to the un-treated fishes (control) were observed such as edema, lamela gill hyperplasia, and necrosis.
