BIFENTHRIN INDUCED HISTOPATHOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS IN KIDNEY OF CYPRINUS CARPIO

Abstract

Bifenthrin is used as insecticide in agriculture. Present manuscript deals with the poisonous outcome of bifenthrin on histology of kidney of fish Cyprinus carpio. Freshwater fish Cyprinus carpio was used in this experimental study. An aggregate of 30 fish were arbitrarily separated into 3 gatherings A, B and C. Group A was kept as control while Group B and C were treated as exploratory. All fish were kept into glass aquaria at room temperature. During experiment, group A (control) was kept in normal water while bifenthrin was added in water of experimental groups B & C. The water of all groups was changed on daily basis. Kidney samples
were collected after 48 & 96 hours exposure and processed for histopathological study. Behavioural pattern and histopathological changes of kidney of Cyprinus carpio were noted. Major changes, for example, Glomerular constriction, extreme degeneration of the tubules, hypertrophy, necrosis and pyknosis were observe under the microscope. Thus, bifenthrin as pesticide should be
used carefully to protect the health of aquatic food animals.
