Impact of chronic phosalone toxicity on erythropoietic activity of fish, Oreochromis mossambicus.
Effect of multiple sublethal concentrations of Phosalone on whole animal and kidney oxygen consumption, haematological indices and serum enzymes of freshwater fish, Oreochromis mossambicus, were carried out over a 90 day exposure period. Significant changes were observed which have been indicating that the presence of hypoxic condition in the biosystem, gradual increase in the rate of synthesis of haemoglobin and disruption of liver function during the toxicity of phosalone.
