The new European chemical regulation (REACH) requires a short-term fish test for chemicals where the level of production exceeds 10 tons per year. For ethical reasons (3R-concept), an alternative to the acute fish test should be introduced to decrease the number of animal testing with fish. The zebrafish embryo (Danio rerio) test became a valuable tool in ecotoxicology and already replaces the acute fish test for the evaluation of wastewater in Germany. Recent efforts are targeted to use this and other fish embryo tests for the effect assessment of chemicals. The toxic effects of the carbamate insecticide aldicarb and its metabolite ALDICARB-SULFOXIDE (cas 1646-87-3) to zebrafish embryos were analysed using two approaches with different endpoints. Organismic tests were conducted with zebrafish embryos exposed to the pesticides for 48 h. In addition, suborganismic effects were examined analysing the enzyme inhibition of cholinesterases and carboxylesterases. On the organismic level, the only sublethal effect seen was the increase of heart rate at low and decrease at higher concentration with the use of aldicarb-sulfoxide but not with aldicarb (concentration range 0.2–300 μM). In contrast, analysis of enzyme inhibitions showed high to very high effects caused by the two carbamates. The enzyme inhibition analysis of whole homogenates of exposed embryos may be advantageous for toxicant screening (biomarker of exposure) and might be used to bridge the gap of sensitivity of the (48 h old) zebrafish embryos to adult fish when exposed to anti-cholinesterase substances (biomarker of prospective effect).
