Abstract:
|
The present study involved investigation of the lethal and sublethal effects of three pesticides individually. The pesticides are the commercial formulations of DDT (organochlorine).Dime—
cron (organophosphate) and Gramoxone (paraquat dichloride).Aspects like individual toxicity, modulations in the activities of some selected enzymes, consequent to exposure to sub lethal levels of pesticides, sub lethal effects onperipheral haematology and alterations caused on the tissue architecture of brain, gills and liver, have been documented. Attempts have been made to analyse the impact of pesticides, added at realistic Levels to the experimental media, on the life and activity of Etroplus maculatus |
