HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE INTESTINE OF INDIAN FLYING BARB (ESOMUS DANRICUS) EXPOSED TO ORGANOPHOSPHATE PESTICIDE, MALATHION (EC 50)

Suchismita Das & Abhik Gupta

Indian flying barb (Esomus danricus) was exposed to three sublethal concentrations of malathion (EC 50) for 28 days and intestinal histopathology was observed by light microscopy after staining with Haematoxylin-Eosine. In the exposed fishes, chronic inflammatory cell infiltration (lymphocyte) along with ulceration of mucosa and vacuolation was observed. Higher doses had severe effects.
