Pesticide Induced Changes in Physiology of Fish : Organophosphate Pesticide Induced Changes in Fresh Water Fish Nemacheilus Botia

It is indeed a great pleasure to take this opportunity to express a deep sense of gratitude to my Research Guide Dr.K.B.Shejule, Dept.of Zoology,Dr.B.A.M.U.Aurangabad.The toxic chemicals are heavily used to increase the crop yield required for feeding the ever increasing the human population.These pesticides through surface runoff reaches to the unrestricted areas like ponds & rivers which alters the physico-chemical properties of water & is toxic to aquatic organism and cause deleterious effect or even death to the aquatic animals. The wide spread use of pesticides not only brought adverse influence on agro - ecosystems but also caused alteration in physiological processes of non-target organisms. This book guides you to for toxicity evaluation of pesticides to fresh water fish.It will help you to study the respiratory physiology,to study histopathological changes in the liver and kidney after exposure to the sublethal concentration of Organophosphate pesticides.This book is useful to research students of pesticide toxicology.It is also helpful to environmental biologist.
