ASSESSMENT OF CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES IN KIDNEY TISSUE OF DIFFERENT FISHES FROM CHAUR OF KHARAGPUR HAWELI (MUNGER)

Dr. Madhav Kumar*

ABSTRACT

Water pollution is one of the major global issue of entire world. One of primary cause of aquatic pollution is the contamination of water bodies by toxic chemicals or biochemical waters. Chaurs are water resources present near river or agriculatural land in which agricultural effluents containing biochemical wastes are dirained and collects. In present study chromosomal abessation test was done in which 300 plates were observed in 3 groups of Fishes (Anbas testudineus) of chaur of Haweli Kharagpur. Both structural & gross type of abnormalities were found including Breaks, Gaps, ring, Fragmentation. In first group total abnormalities were 24 (8% + 1.56%) in 2nd group total abnormalities were 32 (10.6 ± 1.77) and in 3rd group abnormalities were 22 (7.3 ± 1.5). The result of Haweli Kharagpur, could not cause genotoxic effect.
