Suparna Dugal, Saleha Ansari

Abstract :

 The current study was conducted to investigate the potential hazard of copper sulphate in aquatic environments. Young Mahseer fish fry belonging to genus Tor were exposed both continuously and intermittently to 10ppm copper sulphate. Fishes subjected to continuous exposure demonstrated abnormal behaviour, swam with jerky movements and died after 48 hours where as fishes given dips lived up to 4 days. All fishes showed signs of respiratory distress. Histopathology report of both groups showed dilatation of liver sinusoids. Our experimental data highlights the toxicity of copper sulphate when present as a pollutant towards Mahseer fish and advocates judicial use of this compound for controlling infections in aquaculture
