Abstract

The present study was conducted to examine how exposure to pyributicarb affects the shape of red blood cells (RBCs) and the production of micronuclei in two commercially significant fish species: Labeo rohita (Rohu) and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (silver carp). Pyribaden is a chemical that is commonly used in agriculture and has been linked to several harmful impacts on aquatic life. In the present study, 33 specimens were taken and exposed to Pyribaden. Blood then blood sample were taken and a micro assay on them. The results show that micronuclei were formed, and production was increased by increasing the chemical concentration. These results point to the possibility of genotoxic and hematotoxic effects of pyridabin on fish, underscoring the need for more investigation to clarify its modes of action and any possible ecological ramifications. To evaluate pyridabin overall toxicity and implement practical mitigation techniques to protect aquatic ecosystems, it is imperative to understand the effects of pyrabaden on fish red blood cells. We need to act regarding the control of pesticides, such as pyridabin and others like it, to control aquatic pollution.
