IMPACT OF HEAVY METAL LEAD ACETATE ON HEMATOLOGY OF FRESH WATER FISH OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS

R. Nisha Rose and S. Lakshmanan

Abstract

The current study examines the impact of lead acetate, a heavy metal pollutant, on the hematological changes in freshwater fish, Oreochromis niloticus, following prolonged exposure to significant changes at sub-lethal concentrations. The findings indicated that whereas WBC rose after a prolonged period of exposure, measures like RBC and Hb decreased.
