“…The liver is the major organ involved in the regulation of metabolic functions and most of the biotransformation of inorganic arsenic takes place in the liver (Kumar and Banerjee, 2016;Kumari et al, 2017). So, analysis of serum AST and ALT were widely used to demonstrate arsenic induced-hepatotoxicity (Dorcas and Solomon, 2014).…”

“…Similar observations have been reported by Lavanya et al (2011) after exposure of fingerling C. catla to arsenic trioxide and by Garima and Himanshu (2015) after exposure of C. batracus to the same pollutant. Acute treatment by arsenic caused hypoxia which leads to an excess utilization of stored carbohydrates, since the glucose level decreases at such stress conditions (Garima and Himanshu, 2015;Kumari et al, 2017).…”

Heavy metals have different adverse impacts on different life stages of fish species with attempts to use natural antioxidants to counteract their effects. So, the present study investigated the potential protective effects of Amphora coffeaeformis extract against arsenic-induced hemato-biochemical alterations in African catfish, Clarias gariepinus. The fish exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of arsenic; 19.2 and 38.3 mg/L (1/8 and 1/4 of 96h-LC 50 value, 153.17 mg/L) for 15 days. The main effect of arsenic was recorded in some blood parameters such as RBC's count, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and white blood cells. As for biochemical parameters, the main effect of arsenic was significant for alkaline phosphatase, glucose, uric acid, creatinine, albumin, globulin, and albumin/globulin. Also, the residue of arsenic in fish muscles showed significant effects. The majority of these arsenic-induced parameters were improved with dietary supplements of the diatom A. coffeaeformis. So, Amphora extract can be used as detoxification factor on fishes induced by arsenic due to its biologically active components providing protections like antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. Besides, they have excellent contents of proteins and carbohydrates which are supposed to enhance the effect of these compounds.

“…Arsenic shows its mutagenic effects by disrupting the DNA repair genes and methyltransferases, which are responsible for its biotransformation [55]. Similarly, Kumari and co-workers (2017) as reported arsenic toxicity in the aquatic environment [56]. Sampling sites Majitha and Manawala exhibited higher mutagenic potential in both bacterial assays.…”

The term heavy metals refer to any metallic element that possesses a specific density, mainly >5 g/cm 3 [1]. Heavy metals may enter into the aquatic ecosystem by natural as well asanthropogenic activities. The widespread contamination of aquatic bodies by these metals has engrossed worldwide attention due to their persistence and bio-accumulative nature [2-3]. Heavy metal pollution can be traced back to the Roman Empire [4]. A perusal of literature reveals that heavy metal contamination has been widely reported in water samples [5], soil [6], sediments and fishes [7] and lakes [8]. Anthropogenic activities like smelting,

“…Ten fish were kept in each tank and water was replaced daily with fresh arsenic trioxide mixed water to maintain a constant level of arsenic trioxide during the exposure period. The mortality or survival of fish was observed at the end of 24 hours and the concentration at which 50% mortality of fish occurred was taken as the lethal concentration (LC 50 ) [9].…”

In modern age, Arsenic is a major environmental pollutant and exposure occurs through agricultural, environmental, medicinal and occupational sources. The toxicity of arsenic trioxide has been shown in catfish, Clarias batrachus and the data suggest that the inorganic forms of arsenic showing the highest toxicity level. Aim and Objectives: To study the complete blood count of control and arsenic trioxide affected Clarias batrachus, and provide an overview on arsenic and heavy metal toxicity. Methodology: All 50 fishes (10 in control group and 40 in experimental group) were selected for haematological studies and blood samples collected from cardiac puncture for the next 96 hours in the interval of 24 hours. Results: The result of present study indicate that the RBC, Hb, Platelets, PCV, MCV and MCH value were decreased, fluctuation in differential leucocytes count and increased in the number of WBC due to effect of arsenic trioxide. Conclusion: Haemopoietic cells and their activities were decreased due to arsenic contamination. The higher number of white blood cell counts represent some abnormalities due to physical stress, damage or infection in body tissues and leukaemia also. The present investigation indicates that arsenic trioxide exposure may affect the haematological profiles.
