| Popis: | Herbicide Propanil is a toxicant that canadversely affect the health of fish. The present study was conducted toascertain the toxicity effect of Propanil on hematology and serum biochemistryin Oreochromis niloticus juvenile. Fish specimens were exposed to sub-lethalconcentrations (0.0, 0.22, 0.44 and 0.87 mg/L) of Propanil derived from the96hour Lethal concentration for eight weeks. Fish specimens were sampled forhematological and biochemical analysis at 2, 6 and 8 week’s duration exposure.Significant changes and dose dependent decreases in red blood cell, pack cellvolume, hemoglobin values were observed in Propanil exposed fish compared tothe control. Progressive increase in white blood cell count and leukocytedifferentials (neutrophils and lymphocytes) were found in Propanil exposed fishcompared to the control. Significant increases in biochemical parameters(glucose, protein, triglycerides, glutamic oxalo-acetic transminase andglutamate pyruvate transaminase) were observed in Propanil exposed fish groupscompared to the control. However, cholesterol levels decreased significantlyexcept for 8th week Propanil duration exposure. Findings of the present studyrevealed that Propanil adversely affected fish health. |
