Abstract
Eco-genotoxicity was evaluated in fresh water fish, Catla catla using two commercially available pesticide mixtures, viz., Deltamethrin 1% + Triazophos 35% EC and Profenofos 40% EC + Cypermethrin 4% EC. Acute toxicity studies were conducted primarily to determine LC50 of each pesticide mixture. The fish were exposed to each pesticide mixture for 21 days at a dose value of 1/ 20th and 1/10th of LC50. The gills were isolated from the fish at the end of the exposure period, and processed for comet assay. Nucleoids were scored visually, observed significant increase of damage and categorized into various degrees of damages. Based on the results obtained from this study it is concluded that the pesticide mixtures evaluated could be potentially genotoxic to fresh water fish, Catla catla.
期刊介绍：
The Association of Biotechnology and Pharmacy (ABAP) will be useful to form a forum for scientists so that they can bring together to discuss and find scientific solutions to the problems of society. The annual meetings will help the members to share their knowledge and publish their research knowledge particularly by members and fellows of the Association and special care will be taken to provide an opportunity for young scientists. Besides this the association is planned to organize symposia, seminars and workshops on current developments of Biotechnology and Pharmacy particularly on the subject of current scientific interest, and the proceedings of which will be published regularly. And in view of the vast development of science and to disseminate the problems in publication of research work, an international journal of Current Trends in Biotechnology and Pharmacy has been started by ABAP.
