Effect of Heavy Metals on the Histopathology of Gills and Brain of Fresh Water Fish Catla catla
نویسنده
چکیده
Histopathological effect of acute concentrations of heavy metals such as copper, ferroussulphate were studied. Results revealed extensive histopathological abnormalities in the internal structure of gill and brain of Catlacatla exposed to copper and ferrous sulphate in contrast to that of control fish, showing the severity of heavy metal toxicity.

A study was conducted to evaluate the uptake and accumulation of waterborne lead (Pb) in various tissues of Catla catla when exposed to lower doses. Single breed fingerlings (6-8 cm) of C. catla were obtained from a commercial fish seed hatchery. Six groups (in duplicate) of fish (40 each) were maintained at 22 C, pH 7.0, hardness 140 mg/l and DO 7.0 mg/l in 90 liters of water in glass tanks. E...
