Popis: Although silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are among the most studied nanomaterials by virtue of their broad application in many areas, little is known about their overall toxicity to aquatic organisms after their contamination of the water environment. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the exposure (96 h) to different AgNP concentrations on Danio rerio (zebrafish) tissues. AgNP were synthesized and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), showing spherical AgNP of 30.00 ± 16.80 nm size. The effects of different AgNP concentrations (1, 3, and 5 μg L
