Hematological and Biochemical Changes in the Freshwater Fish, Pseudetroplus Maculatus Exposed to Sublethal Concentrations of Chlorpyrifos
Abstract: Sublethal effects of chlorpyrifos on hematological and biochemical parameters were assessed in the freshwater fish, Pseudetroplus maculatus. Fish were exposed to chlorpyrifos at two sublethal concentrations, 0.661 µg/L (one-tenth of LC50—96 h) and 1.32 µg/L (one-fifth of LC50—96 h), for 15 and 30 days maintaining the control group. Blood collected from the control and treated groups were used for analyzing the hematological and biochemical parameters. Chlorpyrifos exposure significantly (P<.05) decreased …

Effects of Chlorpyrifos as Inducer for Oxidative Stress in Liver, Kidney and Spleen of Freshwater Fish, Pseudetroplus maculatus (Bloch, 1795)
Abstract: Chlorpyrifos is one of the most common organophosphate insecticides found abundantly in freshwater ecosystems and has been detected in agricultural and fishery products worldwide. The study focused to determine the effect of chlorpyrifos on the induction of oxidative stress in freshwater fish Pseudetroplus maculatus. Fish were exposed to sublethal concentrations (0.661 and 1.32 μg/l) of chlorpyrifos for 15 and 30 days. Activities of antioxidant enzymes and the levels of hydrogen …
