Histomorphometric and hematological profile of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) during acute endosulfan toxicity (original) (raw)

Abstract

Received: Revised: Accepted: February 17, 2014 June 26, 2014 July 06, 2014 This study was designed to investigate the acute toxicities of endosulfan on the hematopoietic, gastro-intestinal, respiratory systems of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). A total of 35 grass carp, 5-6 cm long were divided into five groups (E0, E1, E2, E3 and E4) having seven fish in each. The fish in group E0 were kept as control in plain water, while those in group E1, E2, E3 and E4 were exposed to 0.75, 1.00, 1.50 and 2.00 ppb of endosulfan in water, respectively for 96 hrs. Water and test chemical solution were renewed daily throughout the experiment. At the end of experimental period blood samples from fish in each group were collected. The morphometric parameters including total weight, length, standard length and organ weights showed non-significant difference. Samples from gills, intestine and liver were collected for the histopathological examination. A significant dose dependent decrease was not...
