Comparative study on the haematological effect of synthetic and plant origin pesticides on fish Channa punctatus

چکیده
Application of synthetic pesticides is one of the methods used to increase agriculture production, animal husbandry and welfare of mankind. Due to their long-term persistence, slow degradability toxicity to other organisms and accumulation inside the fish body, synthetic pesticides adversely affect the environment. To solve this problem, studies have been carried out on the possibility of using plant origin pesticides. In the present investigation, a study has been carried out to compare the hematological effect of synthetic pesticides, Furadan and plant origin pesticides, viz. rutin, taraxerol and apigenin. Fishes were exposed to different sub-lethal concentration of these compounds for one week. Thereafter, blood was assayed for selected haematological parameters (haematocrit, haemoglobin, red blood cell counts, white blood cell counts, total plasma protein and plasma glucose concentration). Sub-lethal concentrations of these compounds caused a dose dependent decrease in haemoglobin values coupled with a decrease in haematocrit values and red blood cell counts. The total white blood cell counts and the differential white blood cell counts were decreased except for the lymphocytes. Plasma protein and glucose were also lower in exposed fish when compared with control. The haematological indices, MCH, MCHC and MCV were also lowered. Results indicate that Furadan are more toxic than rutin, taraxerol and apigenin.

The freshwater fishes are an important source of animal protein to human population. They are adversely affected by aquatic pollutants such as pesticides used in agriculture, which are easily washed off into the water bodies. The effect may be direct when the pesticide is absorbed into the body through the skin, gill, intestine, wound, etc. It may be indirect when the pesticide alters the quali...

Pesticides are applied to control the pests indoor and outdoor; however, their remarkable amount reaches to the aquatic system through various routes like run-off, leaching, spray-drift, effluent from factories. These are reported to have negative metabolic impact on different non-target aquatic organisms like fishes. Thus, present study is aimed to evaluate the acute toxicity of two groups of ...
