Abstract :

Indian flying barb (Esomus danricus) was exposed to sublethal concentrations of endosulfan (EC 35) for 28 days and intestinal histopathology was observed by light microscopy after staining with Haematoxylin-Eosine. In the exposed fishes, superficial erosion of mucosa, dense lamina propria, chronic inflammatory cell infiltration, vacuolation and haemorrhage of mucosa and submucosa were observed. Higher doses had severe effects.
