“…and exposure to pesticides induces behavioural dysfunctions, physiological disturbances, histopathological damages, haematological alterations, biochemical changes, immune-suppression, hormone disruption, etc. in fishes [2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Also, long-term exposure to pesticides induces mortality, physical, and morphological changes in fish [11].…”

“…Pesticide exposure usually caused external and internal changes, most of which led to numerous deformities. Internal changes induced by pesticides are mostly at haematological, biochemical, and genomic levels [1,4,9]. Hematological and biochemical parameters are consistently used as indicators of the physiological or sublethal stress response in fish [14].…”

This review article focuses on the effect of pesticides on reproductive functions, haematological and biochemical changes in catfishes. Pesticides are chemical substances that are released into the environment to control the populations of harmful pests. Pesticide exposure leads to toxicity in aquatic organisms, including fishes which are particularly sensitive to pesticides. The acute and sublethal concentrations of pesticides in the aquatic environment result in different lethal alterations, including changes in reproductive functions, histology, haematology, proteins, glucose, lipids, enzymes, etc. Pesticides act as endocrine disruptor compounds and have the potential to impair reproductive function in catfishes. Alterations in haematological and biochemical parameters are used as efficient biomarkers in assessing the toxicity of pesticides in fishes.
