Abstract:The current study was strived to investigate the adverse effects of Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) overload in the fish Channa punctatus. Two sub-lethal test concentrations of HgCl2 viz., 1/20th and 1/10th of 96 h LC50 i.e., 0.03 mg/L and 0.07 mg/L, respectively, were used for exposure. Blood, liver and kidney tissues of the control and exposed specimens were sampled at intervals of 15, 30 and 45 days to assess alterations in oxidative stress, genotoxicity haematological parameters and histopathology.
