Résumé
Bifenthrin (BF) is a pyrethroid insecticide used in urban and agricultural applications. Previous studies in early life stages of fish have indicated anti-estrogenic activity; however, estrogenic activity has been observed in adults. To test the hypothesis that BF impairs sex differentiation, larval Japanese Medaka were exposed to BF during a critical developmental window for phenotypic sexual differentiation. Fish were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of BF (0.15 μg/L and 1.5 μg/L), a single concentration (0.3 mg/L) of an estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist (ICI 182,780), and an ER agonist (0.2 ug/L) (17β-estradiol). Fish were exposed at 8 days post hatch (dph) larvae for 30 days. Phenotypic sex, secondary sexual characteristics (SSC) and genotypic sex were investigated at sexual maturity (8 weeks). A trend towards masculinization (p = 0.06) based on the presence of papillary processes in anal fin rays of Japanese Medaka was observed in fish exposed to the lowest concentration of BF. However, genotypic gender ratios were not altered. These results show sex differentiation was not significantly altered by larval exposure to BF in Japanese medaka.
