Abstract
Increasing toxicity has posed a serious threat to the environment worldwide. Drainage of textile effluents into the natural water sources has devastated
the existence and survival of aquatic life. Channa punctata, an indigenous species has a profitable market value in South Eastern countries, whose reproductive viability gets hampered under the exposure of the textile
effluents. The fish was exposed to sub-lethal doses of textile effluents. The toxicity level evaluated for LC10, LC50, LC90and lethal concentration for 24 hours were 7.91 ± 0.02, 17.52 ± 0.15, 21.37 ± 0.03 and 440.87 ± 0.12
ppb; for 48 hours those were 8.12 ± 0.17, 11.31 ± 0.08, 21.37 ± 0.01, 585.52 ± 0.18 ppb; for 72 hours the values were 3.46 ± 0.03, 6.93 ± 0.14, 15.58 ± 0.04 and 541.41 ± 0.05 ppb, and for 96 hours the mentioned concentrations were 3.46 ± 0.09, 4.51 ± 0.06, 12.47 ± 0.09and 531.76 ± 0.06 ppb respectively. The safe concentration of the effluent was found to be
1.5412 ± 0.96 ppb. Being exposed for 49 days, the liver functioning tests, kidney functioning tests, and the serum protein levels showed significant changes, the GSI had a steep deterioration with a percentile decrease
from 12.05% to the highest fall of 47.42% besides the clinical parameters confirming excessive stress-induced to them. The study aims to create awareness on preserving indigenous fish diversity.
