Özet:

 Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide most commonly used to control weeds worldwide. The widespread use of this herbicide has raised concerns about the risk of transfer to aquatic systems and, therefore, to humans. Because terrestrial organisms and humans can be exposed to herbicides in different ways: These can be through herbicide drift into the environment, through inhalation or dermal contact, or through the use of contaminated food or water. Thus, in this study, the in vitro effects of different doses of glyphosate in the aquatic environment on the reproductive health of fish were studied. The sperm quality parameters of Capoeta trutta in the Upper Euphrates Basin were studied by the computerized sperm analysis system. According to the results, it was decreased statistically significantly p0.05 in the sperm quality parameters of Straight Linear Velocity VSL, Curvilinear Velocity VCL, and Angular Path Velocity VAP compared to the control group at all doses of glyphosate. As a result, the presence of glyphosate in the aquatic environment and its transfer from these water sources to food produced through agricultural activities may pose a serious risk to the reproductive health of both humans and other living creatures, and it may be recommended that more extensive scientific research be conducted in the relevant area.

 Glifosat, dünyada çok çeşitli yabani otları kontrol etmek için en yaygın kullanılan geniş spektrumlu bir herbisittir. Bu herbisitin yaygın kullanımı, sucul sistemlere dolayısıyla insanlara taşınım riski endişelere yol açmıştır. Çünkü karada yaşayan organizmalar ile insanlar bu tür herbisitlere farklı yollarla maruz kalabilir: Bunlar, herbisitlerin ortama sürüklenmesiyle, solunum veya deri yoluyla, kirlenmiş yiyecek veya suyun kullanılması yoluyla olabilir. Bu amaçla kurgulanan hipotezde, farklı oranlardaki glifosatın sucul çevredeki varlığının, balıkların üreme sağlığı üzerine in vitro etkileri çalışılmıştır. Araştırma, Yukarı Fırat Havzasında yaşayan karabalık Capoeta trutta türü balığının sperm kalite parametreleri bilgisayarlı sperm analiz sistemi ile incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuç verilerine göre glifosatın tüm dozları, sperm hücreleri kalite parametrelerinden düz çizgi hızı VSL, eğrisel hız VCL ve açısal yol hızı VAPnda, kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak önemli p0.05 düşüşler gözlenmiştir. Araştırma sonunda, özellikle 5 mgL ve üzeri glifosat dozlarının sperm kalite parametreleri üzerine olumsuz etkiler gösterdiği ve direkt ilişki olan sperm hücrelerinin dölleme yeteneğini de düşürebileceği söylenebilir. Sonuç olarak, glifosatın sucul ortama varlığıyla ve dolayısıyla bu su kaynaklarından tarımsal faaliyetlerle üretilen gıdalar ile taşınması, hem insanlar hem de diğer canlıların üreme sağlığı üzerinde ciddi risk oluşturabileceği ve ilgili alanda daha geniş bilimsel araştırmalar yapılması önerilebilir.
