Abstract
The effects of Copper oxychloride (Fungicide) on haematological, immunological, serum biochemical parameters were investigated in Oreochromis mossambicus. The 96-h LC50 value of copper oxychloride was found to be 30.53 mg l-1. Examination of haematological, immunological parameters and biochemical parameters (was performed on O. mossabicus after 96 h of exposure of fungicide (30.53 mg l-1). At end of the experiment, fish were exposure in 2.5 g/l-1 of Chaetomorpha aerea on 96 h of recovery assessment. Fish administered with 2.5 g of C. aerea neutralized the toxic effect of copper oxychloride as well as C. aerea, significantly lowered the hematological, immunological and biochemical response. Significant alterations in all the biochemical parameters were found to be dose dependent. Fish exposure fungicide, showed significantly (p0.05) in the treatment groups compared to control groups. The results showed improvement in samples treated with C. aerea. This study suggests that C. aerea can be effectively used to decrease the toxic effect of copper oxychloride on O. mossambicus.
