ABSTRACT
The effects of an organophosphate insecticide. dimecron. has been studied on certain haematological parameters, viz., haemoglobin concentration, RBC number, haematocrit, O2 carrying capacity of blood, etc. of Heteropneustes fossilis following exposures to the LC50 for 24 h and 96 h and 1/10 and 1/50 parts of 96 h LC50 for 90 days. There was a significant decrease in the Hb%, RBC number, HCt% and O2 carrying capcity of blood. But, there was significant increase in the MCH and MCV values following both acute and chronic exposures. The results indicate possible induction of anaemia in the exposed fish.
