Dr. Garima Pundir*

Abstract

The present investigation deals with the effect of arsenic trioxide on Clarias batrachus after 30, 45 and 60 days of exposure period. First group was treated as control group. Fishes of other 3 groups were treated with sublethal concentration 8.7mg/l of Arsenic trioxide for period of 30, 45 and 60 days. After exposure to experimental chemical, arsenic trioxide the liver cells of Clarias batrachus after 30 days showed Vacuolization, necrosis, cell damage, nuclear hypertrophy, cellular hypertrophy. Hypertrophy and cellular hypertrophy, cytoplasmic vacuolization was seen after 45 days of arsenic exposure while 60 days of exposure period showed necrotic cells, karyolysis and Kayorrhexis. edema between sinusoidal cells.
