Coagulation Time Disorder Associated with Organophosphorus and Organochlorine Pesticides in the Fish Anabas Testudineus (Bloch)

Now-a-day modern techniques employed in agriculture and newer chemicals used have contributed much to environmental pollution, particularly to water pollution. This can result in local effects on the environment. The killing of fish by pesticides is quite common. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to evaluate the impact of 48-h LC 50 concentration of Organphosphors (Cythion and Metacid) and Organochlorine (DDT and Lindane) on the coagulation time (CT) and the total Thrombocyte count (THC) of male and female Anabas testudineus used animal. The study reveals towards pathological disturbances involiving injury and haemorrhage in tissues of the test fish with significant lowered CT value and higher THC count at different levels of the ‘t’ value. Therefore, gradual phasing out of pesticides in fishery resources in fishery resources is suggestive. Further in order to check the use and accidental entry of pesticides in the water bodies, a number of alternative pest control methods have been developed but a complete success has not yet been achievd and thus more needed in this direction.
