Impact of Rogor Insecticide on Haematological Parameters of Fresh Water Fish, Cirrhinus Mrigala

Abstract

In developing countries natural water may be contaminated by untreated wastes ofindustrial, domestic and agricultural origin containing various metallic compounds and some pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. Due to the bio accumulative and non-biodegradable properties of these compounds it constitutes a core group of aquatic pollutants. Some of these pollutants are known to accumulate in plant and animal tissues to very high levels, causing a potential toxic hazard to the primary organisms higher in the food chain including fishes and human, which may consume them. The blood parameters were analysed in the fish, CirrhinusmrigalatheLC 50 value was determined when the fish was exposed to insecticide. The parameters like RBC, Hb, MCV,MCH and PCV were decreased and WBC have been increased in the fish.

Endocrine Disrupting Potential Of The Sub-Lethal Concentrations Of Primextra Herbicide On The Hormonal And Heamatological Profile Of Clarias Gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) Sub-Adults

“…The significant decrease in the in the WBC compared to the control observed in the present study is contrary to the findings of Nwani et al (2015) who reported a significant increase in white blood cell. This differences in the profile of WBC between the two studies is attributable to the difference in fish species, age, the cycle of sexual maturity and health condition of the fish (Vaiyanan et al, 2015).…”

Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Accumulate Heavy Metals Near a Former Skeet Shooting Range in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i

“…Similarly, American kestrels ( Falco sparverius ) fed a diet containing up to 448 ppm Pb showed no change in PCV (Custer et al, 1984; Franson et al, 1983). However, carp ( Cirrhinus mrigala ) exposed to sublethal amounts of Ni had significantly decreased PCV (Parthipan & Muniyan, 2013). This indicates some toxic heavy metals like Ni influence PCV while others like Pb may not.…”
