Abstract:

The present study has been conducted on Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, so that the impact of different concentrations of lead on behavior and blood haematological indicators could be investigated. For experimentation, the fish were distributed into four groups (n = 10). Three groups designated as E1, E2 and E3 were exposed with 1/10th, 1/20th and 1/30th of LC50 of lead nitrate, and the fourth group was lead-free control (E0). Results revealed that exposure to lead nitrate caused significant changes in behavioral and hematological parameters of H. molitrix. After one week of lead exposure, numerous behavioral changes were observed which include lack of body control, rapid movement, and loss of body equilibrium, upwards diving, blackness on the fins, operculum movements, unidirectional diving, surface respiration, fin shaking, and mucous discharge. Results showed a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in blood parameters such as hematocrit, red blood cells, hemoglobin, MCHC and platelets. In contrast, mean cell volume, mean cell hemoglobin and white blood cell values increased significantly. Those results suggest that lead has the ability to bring variations in behavior and blood parameters of H. molitrix.
