Behavioural Changes in Freshwater Fish Catla catla exposed to the root water extract of tree Balanites aegyptiaca
Keywords:
Behaviour, Root water extract, Balanites aegyptiaca, Fish Catla catlaAbstract
The aim of the present study is to determine Behavioural Changes in Freshwater Fish Catla catla Exposed to the root water extract of tree Balanites aegyptiaca for 24to 96 hours.The LC values of 50 the prepared concentration for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs were found at 1.00mg/l to 13.00mg/l respectively. At this concentration, loss of reflex, air gulping, erratic swimming, mucus secretion, loss of scale, haemorrhage, jerky movement, leaping out of water and thick mucous covering over the whole body surface were observed during experiments.
