Is neem oil harmful to fish G Giuris

Ramachandra Mohan. M

Abstract :

 

Histopathological effects of neem oil were studied in fish. The fish were treated with neem oil; control fish received the emulsifying agent with or without peanut oil. Peritoneal lavage, collected on subsequent days, showed a results of this study neem oil acts as a non–specific immunostimulant and that it selectively activates the skin Integument (is a active secretory organ forms the primary barrier external covering of the body) with Neem oil treatment for short duration. Alteration of normal organization in mucous glands and its secretion, club cells initiates reaction. Where as in melanocytes of fish,G giuris exibit further aggressive colouration. Further physiological functions including respiration, excretion and osmoregulation are also disturbed. Skin supposed to keeps the body surface moist and acts as antibacterial and antifungal agent, it fails this action due to neem toxicity even at lower dosages.  The aim of this work is to focus on histopathology of skin of fish, (Glossogobius giuris,) being a bottom dwelling habitation and exposed to sediment toxicity.cell–mediated immune (CMI) mechanisms to elicit an enhanced response to subsequent mitogenic or antigenic challenge.
