“…Effects of botanical pesticides (except synthetic pyrethroids) have not been reported earlier on the blood calcium content of fish; hence, this study is the first report. This is in conformity with the reports of earlier investigators who have also noticed decreased blood calcium content after exposing the fish to various toxicantscypermethrin (Mishra et al 2001;Mishra et al 2010a, b;Pandey et al 2009), aldrin (Singh et al 1996), malachite green (Srivastava et al 1995), cadmium (Pratap et al 1989;Rai et al 2009), propoxur (Singh et al 1997), formithion (Singh et al 1997), lead (Rai et al 2010), and deltamethrin (Srivastav et al 1997;. However, no effect has been observed in blood calcium content of DDT-treated flounders Platichthys flesus (Haux 1979), methoxychlor-treated northern puffer Sphaeroides maculatus (Eisler 1967), cadmium-exposed Oncorhynchus niloticus (Oner et al 2008) and bifenthrin-treated rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Velisek et al 2009).…”

The present study aimed at investigating the effects of Nerium indicum leaf extract on the blood electrolytes of Heteropneustes fossilis for short- and long term. Fish were subjected to Nerium indicum leaf extract for short term (11.27 mg/L i.e. 0.8 of 96 h LC₅₀) and long term (2.81 mg/L i.e. 0.2 of 96 h LC₅₀). Fish were killed on each time intervals from control and experimental (Nerium indicum) groups after 24, 48, 72, and 96 h in short-term exposure and after 7, 14, 21, and 28 days in long-term experiment. Blood samples were analyzed for calcium and inorganic phosphate levels. Acute exposure of Nerium indicum leaf extract caused a progressive decrease in the serum calcium levels after 48 h in fish H. fossilis, which persists till the close of the experiment (96 h). The serum inorganic phosphate levels remain unaffected till 48 h in the Nerium indicum leaf extract-exposed fish. After 72 and 96 h, the levels exhibit a decrease. Chronic Nerium indicum leaf extract treatment provoked a decrease in serum calcium levels at day 14. This decrease continues till 28 days. The serum phosphate level of the Nerium indicum leaf extract-treated fish decreases on day 14 and 21. However, on day 28, the levels become close to the normal values. We conclude that Nerium indicum leaf extract exposure alters the blood electrolytes of the fish, thus causing physiological disturbances which might affect seriously the normal vital functions, growth rate, reproduction, and their survival in nature.

“…This supports the observations of earlier investigators who have reported decreased blood/plasma calcium content of fish treated with toxicants -deltamethrin (Srivastav et al, 1997), cypermethrin (Mishra et al, 2005), aldrin (Singh et al, 1996), malachite green (Srivastava et al, 1995), cadmium (Rai and Srivastav, 2003), propoxur (Singh et al, 1997) and formothion (Singh et al, 1997). Contrary to this, an elevation of plasma calcium levels of fish exposed to pesticides has been noticed by Bansal et al (1979), Dalela et al (1981) and Sharma et al (1982).…”

“…Although, several workers have reported the toxicity of pesticides in fishes, there exist few reports regarding their effect on blood electrolytes of fish (Srivastav et al, 1997(Srivastav et al, , 2008Singh et al, 1997;Mishra et al, 2005). Moreover, elevated levels of plasma prolactin in fish have been reported after exposure to dimecron (Thangavel et al, 2005) and DDT (Meredith et al, 1999).…”

The fish Heteropneustes fossilis were subjected to 5.28 mg/L (80% of 96 h LC 50 ) and 1.32 mg/L (20% of 96 h LC 50 ) solution of Metacid-50 (active ingredient methyl-parathion) for short-term (96 h) and long-term (28 days), respectively. H. fossilis exposed for short-term (96 h) to sublethal concentration of Metacid-50 exhibited a marked decrease in plasma calcium level. In short-term experiment, no change was noticed throughout the experiment in the histological structure and nuclear volume of prolactin cells of Metacid-50 treated fish. The chronical exposure of fish for long-term to Metacid-50-provoked hypocalcaemia. Up to 14 days there was no histological change in the prolactin cells of Metacid-50-exposed fish. After 21 days these cells exhibited slight degranulation. However, the nuclear volume remained unchanged. The prolactin cells exhibited further degranulation and the nuclear volume recorded an increase following 28 days Metacid-50 exposure. At some places, vacuolization and cytolysis were also observed.

“…However, the obtained DTC values of 0.11 ± 0.06 and 0.19 ± 0.08 in the gills and liver of sampled fish differed from 9.75 ± 3.00 and 14.06 ± 9.46 reported for Auchenoglanis occidentalis from Tiga dam, Nigeria by Abalaka (2015). Srivastav et al (1997) and Evans et al (2005) reported that although Tilapia spp have kidneys, most of the functions controlled by pulmonary and renal processes in mammals are actually performed by fish gills. Therefore, fish gills and liver represent important target organs suitable for histopathological evaluation of cellular damage (Rabitto et al, 2005;Oliveira Ribeiro et al 2006) in polluted fish water.…”

Oreochromis mossambicus were sampled from a semi-intensively managed polyculture earthen pond in Bagauda, Nigeria for histopathological changes in the gills and liver as early warning signs of pond water pollution. Pond water was sourced from nearby Bagauda dam through a single 28 inches water pipe. The physicochemical parameters of the earthen pond water were within acceptable limits for the growth and survival of O. mossambicus. Although observed histopathological lesions were significantly (p<0.05) higher in the liver than in the gills of sampled fish, lesions were within the normal functioning of respective organs based on the degree of tissue change protocol. The observed lesions indicated low level pollution of the earthen pond water. The result of this preliminary work notwithstanding, there is a need for constant monitoring of the earthen pond water and its water source (Bagauda dam) for pollutants. This is to ensure the continuous well-being and increased productivity of stocked fish within the earthen pond because of the large catchment area being drained by the dam relative to increasing human anthropogenic activities within the area.
