Background: Aquatic pollution by pesticidal application, in recent times, has gained much attention throughout the world, as they ultimately reach to the aquatic bodies through agricultural runoff or by aerial spraying and finally, impair the health status of fish. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the toxicological responses of Almix® herbicide on oxidative stress parameters in three Indian freshwater teleosts namely, Anabas testudineus, Heteropneustes fossilis and Oreochromis niloticus in natural condition.
Methods: Almix® herbicide was applied at field concentration (8 g/acre) used for rice cultivation to evaluate the oxidative stress responses in freshwater teleostean fishes for a period of 30 days. Special type of cage was installed in pond for culturing the fish species.
Results: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was increased significantly in.. View More»
