Abstract

Acute and chronic exposure to copper sulphate results in destruction of
cytoplasmic material and vacuolation of hepatocytes in Carassius auratus. The
blood sinusoids also undergo degeneration. Light microscopic studies show severe
histopathological changes in gills due to exposure. Fishes exposed to chronic concentration
are more prone to disintegration
