Abstract

Present investigation was aimed to evaluate the toxic effect of Cr compounds on certain haematological parameters in a fresh water common carp — Cyprinus carpio (Linn) exposed to 40 and 20% leather tannery effluent for a period of 28 days.A significant decrease in total erythrocyte count (TEC); total leucocyte count (TLC) and haemoglobin (Hb) concentration was observed, compared to the control.
