Alteration in biochemical and haematological parameters on exposure to household detergent (tide) of the Asian snakehead fish Channa punctata

Using a 96-hour static bioassay, authors looked at the effects of household tide detergent on the blood parameters and energy metabolism of Asian snakehead fish (Channa punctata). The median 96-hour lethal dose (LC ) of HHD was 60.0 mg/L. The control group received a non- 50 detergent-treated standard meal. RBC count and haemoglobin considerably decreased; however, WBC count level noticeably increased at sublethal of dose 12.00 mg/L. There was a substantial up regulation of total protein. Organcholesterol and triglycerides rose, but total lipids decreased. Overall, the results showed that fish's biochemical and hematological parameters were significantly altered after exposure to detergent.
