Abstract

The acute toxic effect of the toxicant sumithion (50% E.C.) on mortality rate (after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h), total RBC count and haemoglobin content (after 48 and 72 b) on Heteropneusles fossilis was investigated at four concentrations (9.7, 10.1, 10.7 and 11.1 ppm). The sumithion treated fiShes showed lower RBC and Hb levels than the untreated ones. A gradual decrease in the total RHC counts and Hb contents was recorded with increasing concentrations of toxicant after 72 h but the blood showed lluctuating values after 48 b of treatment.
