HAEMOTOXIC ASSESSMENT OF COMMONLY USED FERTILIZERS IN FISHES

T. S. Naqvi

Abstract :

 The Urea toxicity is more pronounced than Diammonium Phosphate on the fishes followed by Calcium ammonium niterate and Muriate of potash.The toxic effect of urea resulted in sudden fall of hematological parameters–Hb, RBC count, HCt at higher concentration and at lower concentration gradual decreases, in C. batrachus, maximum lowering of 80.11% for Hb content, 37.90% for RBC count, and 15.60% for HCt is recorded. The effect of CAN is not so pronounced as in DAP and Urea. In               C. batrachus, maximum decrease of 24.05%, 26.68% and 34.91% below control is observed in Hb. RBC count and TLC respectively. In C. batrachus, at lower concentrations (5.60, 6.15, 6.70 g/l) and shorter exposures, the three parameters studied–Hb, RBC count and HCt remained almost unaffected giving an idea that fishes tolerate these concentrations of fertilizer muriate of potash.
