Abstract

20 fresh water fish Catla catla of both sexes were purchased from local fisherman. They were kept in aquaria and well aerated. The differential acute toxicity of water extracts of B. aegyptiaca root on fish C. catla were carried out under laboratory conditions. The LC50 after 96 h of exposure for water extracts of Balanites aegyptiaca root were9.00, 11.00 and 13.00 mg/L, respectively. These values showed that water extracts of Balanites aegyptiaca root was more toxic. Histological alteration in the ovary tissues showed lesion, necrosis, malignancy, cellular degeneration and inflammation, when the fish were exposed to various concentrations (9.00 mg/L, 11.00 mg/L and 13.00 mg/L) of water extracts of B. aegyptiaca root for a period of 96 h revealed that root of B. aegyptiaca may be toxic to fish C. catlaas characterized by severe degeneration of ovary cells.The study concluded that caution must be taken in the disposal of this plant in water bodies as extended exposure time and at higher concentrations could pose adverse effect on the fish Catla catla.
