Impact of Heavy Metal Pollution on Haematological Parameters in Freshwater Fishes
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment, Ecology, Family and Urban Studies (IJEEFUS) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluate the effect of pollutants on the hematological parameters of freshwater fishes from the polluted site of Varahanadhi River. The parameters determined were total erythrocyte count (RBC Count), hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCH) and total leucocyte count (WBC). The above mentioned parameters revealed variations when compared with the control. The alterations in these parameters have ultimately become the causative factor, affecting the general health status and hampering the entire metabolic mechanism of the fishes.
