Effects of Deltamethrin on Haematological Indices of Indian Major Carp, Cirrhinus Mrigala (hamilton)
نویسنده
چکیده
Deltamethrin is a pyrethroid ester insecticide widely used in agricultural and non agricultural purposes in India, creates a serious threat to the environment as well as target and non target organisms. The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of lethal (8mg/L) and sublethal (0.8mg/L) deltamethrin level on selected haematological indices of Cirrhinus mrigala. The target fish were exposed to lethal (1, 2, 3 and 4 days) and sublethal (1, 5, 10 and 15 day) periods. The results showed that the erythrocytes, Hb, and hematocrit values decreased continuously for both lethal and sublethal concentration of deltamethrin. WBC, MCV and MCH were increased considerably, while the MCHC remained unchanged during the study. In conclusion, the study confirmed the lethal and sublethal effect of deltamethrin on C. mrigala. The decrease in levels of RBCs, Hb, PCV and increase in WBCs revealed the haematological toxicity of this pesticide pollutant and they may be helpful as a tool to monitor the health status of the fish species.

The effect of phenol on haematological components of Indian major carps, Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala were observed. After exposure to sublethal concentrations of 5.17 mg l(-1), 6.06 mg l(-1) and 6.99 mg l(-1), the number of red blood cells, haemoglobin content and packed cell volume all decreased but the glucose level increased. The order of decrease in the haematological co...

A growth study was conducted to determine the dietary threonine requirement of juveniles of the Indian major carp (Cirrhinus mrigala) known as “mrigal”. Diets containing casein and gelatin as sources of intact proteins were supplemented with crystalline amino acids to obtain a crude protein content of 40%. Six diets with different levels of threonine (1.0, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 1.9 and 2.1%) were fed ...

The effect of Spirulina supplementation on reduction of copper toxicity based on food utilization, phosphatases activities and selected haematological parameters was studied in a freshwater cultivable fish C. mrigala. Metal concentration in medium, body tissues and fecal matter was also analysed. Sublethal exposure of C. mrigala fed Spirulina-free diet significantly reduced the consumption and ...

Myxozoans are an economically important group of microscopic parasites best known for the diseases they cause in commercially important fish hosts. The classification of myxosporeans is generally based on the morphology of their myxospores. Without molecular data, it is very difficult to identify new or existing species. DNA sequence information is therefore, a prerequisite to taxonomic and phy...
