Histopathological Changes in the Gill of Labeo rohita (Hamilton) Fingerlings Exposed to Atrazine
نویسنده
چکیده
Atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino 1,3,5-triazine) is a widely used selective herbicide. Due to its persistence, it is present in the surface waters, contaminating non-target organisms such as fish. Herbicide atrazine was administered to Labeo rohita fingerlings in 120 hours. The used dose of atrazine was 0.18 mg/l for 120 hours (LC ). The histopathological changes in the gill tissue like epithelial hyperplasia, curling 0 of secondary lamellae and changes in chloride cells, besides these changes pyknotic nuclei, vacuolization, degradation of epithelial cells and pillar cells, were noticed.

متن کاملChanges in the level of transaminases in Indian major carp, Labeo rohita exposed to sublethal concentration of tannery and distillery effluents.
The activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) of different tissues of fingerlings of Labeo rohita under the influence of two effluents has been studied. The alanine aminotransferase activity was increased over the control in different exposed periods of tannery and distillery effluent treatments. The alanine aminotransferase in the liver showed increased a...
متن کاملZinc induced histological changes in brain and liver of Labeo rohita (Ham.).
Labeo rohita fingerlings were exposed to zinc metal toxicity (5 and 10 ppm) for duration of 5 and 15 days. The histological changes were studied in brain and liver of the treated fish. The brain tissues showed enlarged pyramidal cells with extensive vacoulation while severe necrosis, haemorrhage and degeneration of hepatocytes were witnessed in the liver tissues.
