Alterations in the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate of Fresh Water Fish, Channa punctatus on exposure to Temperature Stress from Godavari River, Nanded

Diclofenac induced alterations in the phospholipid levels in different tissues of fresh water fish, Channa punctatus

The extensive usage and improper disposal of pharmaceuticals have the potential to contaminate the water and sediments. Diclofenac is a widely prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has been frequently detected in surface waters worldwide. There are evidences of its toxicity in aquatic organisms like phytoplankton, zooplankton and fish. The present study aims to investigate the bi...

Haematological Alterations in the Fish Channa Punctatus upon Exposure to Quinalphos Technical Grade and 25% Ec

Effect of Endosulphan and Dimethoate Pesticides on Haematological Parameters of Fresh Water Fish Channa punctatus

Fish hematology is one of the most recent branches of physiology to assess the status of general health. Blood is the transport medium, a defense system, and an acid/base buffer system. Circulating blood is the common denominator of health and illness and alteration in its chemical or cellular illness and composition can indicate hematological and nonhematological diseases. Erythrocytes occupy ...

Effect of tannery waste water on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme activity of fresh water fish, Channa punctatus

Channa punctatus is the most common fish found in Indian rivers and water bodies. The present study was conducted to investigate the dilution effect of tannery waste water on the activity of serum LDH enzyme of the Indian freshwater fish Channa punctatus. The effect was observed based on the result of chronic toxicity and comparison of control with experimental groups. Tannery wastewater causes...

Toxicity of Nickel to Fresh Water Fish, Channa

Heavy metals are considered as the most important pollutants of the aquatic environment. In the present study, acute toxicity test was used for the determination of lethal toxicity of Nickel in adult fish, Channa gachua as the test organism. Toxicity test is most reliable for accessing the adverse effect of pollutants on aquatic life. The LC50 values were determined and observed that the values...
