Abstract

Histopathological effect of acute concentrations of heavy metals such as copper sulphate and, ferrous sulphate were studied. Results revealed extensive histopathological abnormalities in the internal structure of gills and brain of Labeo rohita exposed to copper and ferrous sulphate in contrast to that of control fish, showing the severity of heavy metal toxicity.
