| Abstract | Herbicide performs a vital role in the management of weeds. As the name indicates, herbicides are chemicals that kill or control vegetation. The indiscriminate use of herbicide i.e. “Glyphosate” careless handling accidental spillage or discharge of untreated effluents into aquatic environment have harmful impact on the fish population and other aquatic organisms and may contribute to long term eco toxicological effects to resident aquatic organisms. The aim of the present studies therefore, was to determine the acute toxicity of glyphosate (Excel Mera 71) herbicide and its impact on the toxicity stress, behavioural alterations and biochemical changes on fresh water fish channa punctatus. The bioassay studied after 24h or 96h exposure with 40% and 80% of LC50 of 24h. The freshwater fish Channa punctatus is an important fish of Indian capture fishery. The LC values (LC10, LC50, LC 90) was dose as well as time dependent. Alteration in biochemical profile (Total protein, amino acid, glycogen, and nucleic acid) of fish was also time & dose dependent. On the basis of present study we should avoid extensive use of this herbicide in near water bodies. |
