Elecrophoretic Pattern and Histopathological Study of Muscle Tissue Tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus Exposed to Textile Dyes

The research was conducted on fresh water fish Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters) to check out the electrophoretic pattern and histological changes in muscle tissue. In the present study, electrophoretic protein pattern was also demonstrated which proved harmful impacts of the textile dyes on the tissues of the present studied fish. Histological analysis of muscle tissue revealed significant morphological alterations such as degeneration of secondary lamellae, lamellar fusion due to hyperemia of epithelial cells.
