HAEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ALTERATIONS OF CATLA CATLA FINGERLINGS FOLLOWING SUBLET EXPOSURE TO NUVAN

Abstract

The sublethal exposure (0.24 ppm) of Nuvan on some biochemical compositions such as
serum protein, blood glucose, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (AST) and glutamate
pyruvate transaminase (ALT) and on some haematological parameters such as red blood
corpuscles (RBC), white blood corpuscles (WBC), haemoglobin content (Hb), mean corpuscular
concentration (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) of Calla calla
fingerlings were studied. The haematological and biochemical parameters evoked a significant
reduction (excepting MCV, ALT and AST which is significantly increased) with increasing days
of Nuvan exposure
