Influence of Different Levels of Cyanazine on Blood Picture of Labeo rohita

Abstract

The freshwater fish Labeo rohita is found in Asian countries and around the world. Cyanazine herbicide produce extensive threat to freshwater fishes and used to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Subsequently, freshwater ecosystem was facing potential risk due to extensive application of this herbicide. Objective: To find the toxic effects of cyanazine on hematological parameters of Labeo rohita. Methods: For this purpose, fish was divided into four groups. Ten fish were introduced into each group. The group 1 was taken as control group. The group 2, 3 and 4 were treated groups and exposed to different concentration of cyanazine 3µgL-1, 6µgL-1 and 8µgL-1 respectively. Results: The current study showed that WBC, RBC, HGB and HCT increased while the MCV, MCH, MCHC and PLT decreased significantly. Conclusions: Hematological parameters of L. rohita were significantly affected by exposure to Cyanazine. These alterations indicate that Cyanazine can potentially disrupt the fish's hematological balance, which could have implications for its overall healt
