lindane in Clarias gariepinus fish, Onl J Vet Res., 28(6):
358-364, 2024. Six live Clarias gariepinus fish
were placed for 14 days in tank of water with 80 ppb lindane and 6
controls in water without lindane. At day 14 blood was taken for hematology and
biochemistry and fish decapitated for microscopy of liver and gills. Compared with controls
(day 0) body weights declined (P < 0.05) ~14% in fish exposed to lindane,
red blood ~42%$ and white cells ~69%, and alanine
aminotransferase (ALT) 93% whereas aspartate aminotransferase increased 38%.
Microscopy revealed marked inflammatory cells infiltration. Findings suggest
that lindane in low doses may induces toxic signs in Clarias gariepinus.
