STUDIES ON IMPACT OF ZINC ELECTROPLATING INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENT ON HEMATOLOGY AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF CYPRINUS CARPIO

P. Ramachandran, M. R. Rajan

Abstract :

Present study deals with the impact of zinc electroplating industry effluent on hematology and biochemical properties of muscle, gills and liver of Cyprinus carpio, when exposed to 0 (control), 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% effluent concentration. Hematology parameters such as total WBC count, eosinophils, hemoglobin, RBC count, haematocrit, MCHC and platelets count were decreased with increasing effluent concentration when compared to control group. Among biochemical parameters higher protein, carbohydrate and lipid content was shown in control (0% effluent concentration). The least protein, carbohydrate and lipid content were shown in 10% effluent concentration.
