Abstrakt: The Static bioassay test was conducted to estimate acute toxicity tests (96-hr LC50 and lethal concentration) of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) was conducted with a fingerlings of species Etroplus suratensis for 96 h. Toxicity test is most reliable for accessing effect of toxicants on aquatic life. Different concentrations of TiO2 NPs were exposed to fishes. Fish were exposed to different chosen concentration of TiO2 NPs, and after 96 hours and six hours between observations of mortality, the statistics on mortality were determined. The results showed that acute toxicity of nanoparticles to fish after 96 hours of exposure could reveal that exposure to nanoparticles may have harmful effects on fish that ultimately damage the health of aquatic ecosystems.
