Dr. Garima Pundir*

Abstract

Present investigation is carried out to study role of Spirulina platensis on cadmium treated Clarias batrachus as fish health depends upon important biochemical parameters such as Protein, Cholesterol, Glucose, Acid phosphatase and Alkaline phosphatase, which get altered after Cadmium exposure and damages the fish tissue. It interacts with the Calcium metabolism of animal and in fishes causing hypocalcemia, nephrotoxicity, induces oxidative stress, immunotoxicity and also causes functional and structural damages to various organs of fishes .Contaminated food is the most common source of Cadmium toxicity in humans, its regular consumption have increased the exposure in the people. Spirulina platensis has shown therapeutic potency against heavy metal cadmium sulphate.
