Suchismita Das, Abhik Gupta

Abstract :

The liver of Indian flying barb, Esomus danricus, exposed to sublethal doses of 636.3, 63.6 and 6.3 µgl–1 Cd showed several reactions including fatty changes in hepatocytes, liver cord disarrangement, nuclear pycnosis and extensive degeneration of cytoplasm, which are characteristic abnormalities in fishes exposed to toxicants. Higher doses of exposure had more severe effects on the liver.
