Assessment of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Fe, Co, Mn, Cr, Zn) in rivulet water, their accumulations and alterations in hematology of fish Channa punctatus

Abstract: The present study was conducted to examine the contamination of rivulet situated at Kasimpur, Aligarh .dw) was highest in all the organs. The accumulation of Fe, Zn, and Mn, observed in the tissues were above the values recommended by FAO/WHO. Abnormalities in hematological parameters of exposed C. punctatus were also observed. The total RBC count (-51.39%) showed decline over control. Therefore, fall in Hb (-36.98%) and oxygen carrying capacity (37.00%) was also observed over control. On the contrary, the tot… Show more

“…The reduction of oxygen generally expands synthesis of hemoglobin, releases of blood cells from storage sites, and enhances erythropoiesis. Similar results were recorded by (Mehjbeen, and Nazura 2013) and Shah (2006), who reported significant increases in the red blood cells, hematocrit and platelets in Tinca tinca when it was exposed to heavy metals. The significant increases in the WBC may be as a result of intensive secretion of corticosteroid hormones (Dutta and Kaviraj, 1996).…”

“…Liver was also reported to as high Ni accumulating tissue by Ayas et al [23]. Nickel was found to be highly accumulated in gills of Channa punctatus as compared to liver [24]. The maximum permissible level of EPA for Ni is 27 µg g -1 [13].…”

“…There are many studies on the influence of heavy metals on erythrocyte morphology and hematological parameters of both marine and freshwater fish species (Witeska, 1998;Buthelezi et al, 2000;Vinodhini and Narayanan, 2009;Ranjana and Peyush, 2011;Jyoti and Seema, 2014;Vesela et al, 2014;Javed and Usmani, 2014). These studies evaluated the effect of heavy metal element or a small group of elements on fish hematological parameters.…”
