In the present study, fresh waterfish Cirrhinus mrigala has been used as a model organism to understand mechanistic link between electroplating industrial effluent (EIE) and oxidative stress in aquatic ecosystems. To this end, fishes were exposed effluent, tank water for 10, 20 30 days under controlled laboratory conditions. Various hematological parameters (Total RBC WBC, Hemoglobin, MCV, MCH,...

metals bioaccumulation in five organs of cirrhinus  mrigala , labeo  rohita and catla catla captured from three industrial and sewage polluted downstream sites (shahdera = b, sunder = c and balloki = d) were compared with a non-industrial upstream site (siphon = a) during high (post monsoon) and low (winter) flow seasons of river ravi. mean concentrations of metals were significantly higher in ...
