Abstract:

Air breathing fishes like Channa punctatus, Clarias batrachus and Anabas testudineus were exposed to paper mill effluent (20%) for a period of 30 days. Changes in haematological parameters like Haemoglobin (Hb), Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC), Total Leucocyte Count (TLC) and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) was observed at end of exposure period. Among the three fishes Clarias batrachus was found to be more tolerant than other two fishes.
