Environmental contamination by antibiotics has become a global issue. Colistin, a cationic antimicrobial polypeptide, has been widely used in human/veterinary medicine, and growth promotion in aquaculture. However, no study has been conducted to test the toxic effects of colistin on aquatic animals. In this study, we examined the effects of colistin on zebrafish embryos. Zebrafish embryos were incubated in different concentrations (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 2, 3, and 10 μM) of colistin for 96 h. Colistin increased the mortality rate in a
