Deleterious Effects of Hexavalent Chromium on the Blood Pyruvate Level in the Fingerlings of Channa Punctatus (bl.), a Tropical Freshwater Murrel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Blood pyruvate level in the fingerlings of Channa punctatus when subjected upto 48 hours to 5.6 mg/l (a sublethal concentration) of hexavalent chromium exposure, revealed statistically no significant increase. However, a progressive significant increase in the blood pyruvate level was noticed upto 96 hours of exposure. The result may prove useful parameters to assess the hexavalent chromium toxicity in freshwater fish’s in general and their juvenile stages in particular.

Assessment of pollution of river Ganges by tannery effluents using genotoxicity biomarkers in murrel fish, Channa punctatus (Bloch).
River pollution due to rapid industrialization and anthropogenic activities adversely affects the aquatic organisms, especially fish. Here, we assessed the genotoxicity, mutagenicity and bioaccumulative aspects of tannery effluents in freshwater murrel, Channa punctatus, an inhabitant of river Ganges. Test specimens were collected from three different polluted sites of the river within and near...
متن کاملSolar photocatalytic treatment of wastewater with zinc oxide nanoparticles and its ecotoxicological impact on Channa punctatus –a freshwater fish
Azo dye and hexavalent chromium are two carcinogenic and toxic pollutants present in industrial wastewater. Zinc oxide nanoparticles can be used for the treatment of these pollutants with solar energy. However the nanoparticles themselves generally have some inherent toxicity for aquatic life. In this work, we have selected Channa punctatus as the model aquatic animal and examined whether the n...

The present study was aimed to investigate the impact of Chromium trioxide on biochemical parameters of freshwater fish, Channa punctatus exposed to sub lethal concentration for 7, 15, 30 and 60 days. Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT), Orthophosphoric Monoester Phospho-hydrolase (OMP) and Orthophosphoric acid Monoester Phospho-hydrolase (OAMP) activities have been analyse...
متن کاملIsolation, purification and characterization of the egg-yolk proteins from the oocytes of the indian freshwater murrel, Channa punctatus (Bloch).
In oviparous organisms, yolk accumulation in the oocytes is critical and indispensable for the development of the newly hatched young ones. In fish and many other oviparous vertebrates, the major constituents of the egg-yolk are synthesized as a precursor in the liver. The precursor is transported to the oocyte for uptake and cleaved into major yolk proteins lipovitellin, phosvitin and beta'-co...
