Assessment of Heavy Metal, Arsenic in Chhilpura Pond Water and its Effect on Haematological and Biochemical Parameters of Catfish, Clarias batrachus

Heavy metal poisoning means an excess of the required concentration that is found naturally on earth. In the present experiment, it has been observed that the natural water source surrounded by mountains is also polluted with arsenic because these heavy metals like arsenic are naturally contained in...

description Heavy metal poisoning means an excess of the required concentration that is found naturally on earth. In the present experiment, it has been observed that the natural water source surrounded by mountains is also polluted with arsenic because these heavy metals like arsenic are naturally contained in rocks that accumulate in the water source with soil erosion and rain. In this experiment arsenic was found in the water of Chhilpura pond, in which the haematology and biochemistry of catfish (Clarias batrachus) were studied, it was found that the RBC, haemoglobin, PCV, MCV, MCH, platelets, glucose and protein contents of catfish were found to be relatively low as compared to the control, whereas the WBC was observed to be higher to control and differential leucocyte count fluctuations were observed. It can be inferred from this experiment that heavy metals such as arsenic alter the haematology and biochemistry of catfish (Clarias batrachus).
