Lindane toxicity: histopathological, behavioural and biochemical changes in Etroplus maculatus (Bloch, 1795).

Abstract:

:The effects of sub-lethal concentrations of lindane on behavioral, hematological and histological parameters in Etroplus maculatus were investigated. The LC₅₀ value of lindane for E. maculatus was estimated using the Probit method and was found to be 0.028 mg/L. The red blood cell count (RBC) and the hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were significantly reduced (p > 0.0001) in fish exposed to the toxicant concentrations compared to the control groups. However, the white blood cell count (WBC) was observed to be significantly higher (p < 0.0001). Observations of the tissues showed that lindane had profound destructive effects on the gills, liver and kidney of the fish. The gills showed proliferation of the lamellar epithelium and lamellar fusion, the liver showed necrosis and the kidneys had constriction of the tubular lumen. The frequency of observed behaviors had the same levels of significance throughout the period of study. There was a reduction in the frequency of occurrence between test concentrations, but remained significantly higher than the control. The study shows that lindane is harmful to E. maculatus at sub-lethal concentrations and that the application of this pesticide close to bodies of water is a dangerous threat to aquatic life.
