Sublethal Toxic Effect of Paraquat Dichloride on Tissue Biochemical Markers in Labeo rohita
Abstract: The present study investigated the sublethal toxic effect of the commercial grade herbicide, Paraquat dichloride (24% SL), on Labeo rohita stressing the importance on biochemical parameters. Fishes were exposed to the sublethal concentrations of paraquat dichloride (5 μg/l and 10 μg/l) for 24 h in treated groups. Treated groups showed highly changed biochemical parameters on their exposure to the herbicide paraquat, when compared to the control. Tissues such as brain, …

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 …
