Abstract

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of sub lethal concentration of heavy metal Arsenic (NaAsO2) exposure on hematological parameters such as red blood cells (RBC), Hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cells (WBC) and clotting time (CT) in the blood of fresh water fish, Channa punctatus The present study shows the level of RBC and Hb were significantly decreased simultaneously the WBC significantly increased due to arsenic exposure. While the clotting time also increased with exposure. Thus the present study concludes that the hematological parameters of fish of Channa punctatus affected by exposure to arsenic. Further the duration of exposure determines the rate the impact on blood parameters.
