Quinalphos induced histopathological changes in the fresh water fish Oreochromis mossambicus

Sarath. S, M R Renuka

Abstract :

Main focus of this study was on how an organophosphate (quinalphos) pesticide affects a verteate organism. For analyzing this histopathological aspects were studied using standard methods. Liver of pesticide treated fishes showed necrosis, hemorrhages, and lesions. Heterogeneous parenchyma was the most prevalent hepatic change, characterized by extensive areas of vacuolization. Foci of necrosis were observed, frequently associated with multifocal inflammatory processes, some of them spreading over large areas. Also degenerated hepatocytesand foci of necrosis were found in these tissues. All the changes recorded were time dependent. Longer the duration of exposure heavier was the damage caused.
