Studies on Induction of Erytrocyte Abnormalities in Cirrhinus Mrigala Exposed to Dyeing Industry Effluent
نویسندگان
چکیده
Erythrocyte abnormality test has been used to detect the genotoxic effect of dyeing industry effluent on the fish. The 96h LC50 of effluent against Cirrhinus mrigala was calculated by Finney method and three sublethal concentrations 24.48%, 12.24% and 6.12% were made. Fishes were kept in concentrations and blood was smeared after 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h. Eleven types of erythrocyte abnormalities were observed. Nuclear abnormalities included Nuclear Extrusion (NE), Blebbed (B), Binucleate (BN), Lobed (L), Notched (N) nuclei and cellular abnormalities included Enucleated (EnC), Vacuolated (VC), Deformed (DC), Echinocytic (EC), Spindle shaped (SC) and Apoptotic (AC) Cells. Data was statistically significant at (p<0.05) level of significance. 12.24% and 24.48% concentrations proved to be more toxic. In 6.12% concentration, abnormalities decreased at 96h. Erythrocyte abnormalities indicated that effluent induced clastogenic effects on the erythrocytes of Cirrhinus mrigala and may have similar effects on the human population located around the river and consume fishes.

Pollution of water resources is a serious and growing problem, despite the existence of relevant legislations. Genotoxic studies on industrial pollutants are very important as they tend to accumulate in aquatic animals. Thus use of aquatic organisms to detect the genotoxicity is very useful in environment monitoring. For this chromosomal aberration test was employed to study genotoxicity caused...

Freshwater fish Cirrhinus mrigala were exposed to lethal concentration (5 mg/L) for 1,2,3,4 days and sublethal concentration (1 mg/L) for 1,7,14,21 days of cypermethrin to examine the enzymes activity, in functionally three different tissues namely, gill, liver and muscle. Activities of Aspartate aminotransferase (AAT), Alanine aminotransferase (AlAT) and Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) increased...

Background: Cirrhinus mrigala, one of the important fish widely consumed in India, was used for karyological observations and to evaluate the toxic effect of butachlor, an extensively used herbicide in rice fields in terms of chromosomal aberration test. Methods: Fishes were collected from “National Fish Seed Farm” Jyotisar with mean body weight of 20-50g. The experimental fishes were kept i...

Metals are the major pollutants in aquatic environment. A lot of research literature is available globally about accumulation of heavy metals in aquatic ecosystems as well as in different body organs of aquatic animals, especially fish. Heavy metals mainly generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aquatic animals that lead to oxidative stress production. ROS cause oxidative damage to different ...
