“…by oxidative stress (Martinez-Alvarez et al, 2005). Enhanced CAT activity is usually observed in the presence of environmental pollutants (Dautremepuits et al, 2004) since CAT in combination with superoxide dismutase represents the first line of defense against oxidative stress (Bebianno et al, 2004). Therefore, elevated levels of CAT, as observed in the present study, reflect a reinforced antioxidant response generated by sewage effluent.…”

The aim of this study is to assess the influence of effluent discharge from a sewage treatment plant by evaluating oxidative stress and histopathological alterations in freshwater crucian carp Carassius auratus collected from the Eungcheon stream, located in Korea. Catalase activity in the gills, liver, and kidneys of C. auratus was collected from mixing zones; the downstream site was notably higher of fish than that of the upstream site. In addition, the activity of glutathione-S-transferase in the gills and liver was significantly higher in samples from the mixing zone than in those from the upstream site (p < 0.05). In addition, significantly elevated lipid peroxidation levels were observed in fish livers sampled from the mixing zone than in those from the upstream site (p < 0.05). Significant histopathological alternations were also observed in C. auratus, with the order of magnitude changes being liver > kidney > gills. These findings suggest that the liver is most affected by effluent discharge. The degree of tissue changes (DTC) indicate that the highest level occurred in samples from the mixing zone (30.98 ± 5.40) followed by those from the downstream site (19.28 ± 4.31) and was the lowest in samples from the upstream site (4.83 ± 2.67). These findings indicate that fish collected from the mixing zone are most affected by effluent discharge and both oxidative stress and histopathological indices are useful tools for monitoring contaminated rivers and streams.

“…Fish, like mammals, possess well-developed antioxidant defense systems for neutralizing the toxic effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [35] . Fish are largely being used for the assessment of the quality of aquatic environment and as such can serve as bio-indicators of environmental pollution [36][37] . Heavy metals accumulated in the tissues of fish may catalyze reactions that generated in the tissues of fish may catalyze reactions that generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) which may lead to environmental oxidative stress.…”

“…Furthermore, the apparent decrease in glutathione detoxification system in the gill, the first point of contact with environmental xenobiotics indicates that this system is a sensitive biochemical indicator of environmental pollution [40] in Clarias gariepinus. Increase in the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase is usually observed in the face of environment pollutants [36,41] since superoxide dismutase-catalase system represents the first line of defense against oxidative stress [41] . Oxidative stress is believed to occur when the normal balance of the oxidant-to-antioxidant ratio is disturbed.…”

ABSTRACT-Aquatic organisms have been considered to concentrate metals several times greater than environmental levels. Fishes have been used for many decades to evaluate the pollution status of water and thus considered as excellent biological indicator of heavy metals in aquatic environments. Heavy metals are natural tress components of the aquatic environment, but their levels have increased due to domestic, industrial, mining and agricultural activities. These heavy metals when accumulated in the fish tissues, they damage and weaken the mechanisms concerned leading to physiological, pathological and biochemical changes. The lead is non essential element while cobalt is an essential element for living organisms but its presence in fresh water in higher concentration are toxic to organism's brain, liver, ovary, kidney and gills of the fish. The present study was aimed to investigate the changes due to two heavy metals (lead & cobalt) on the activity of the antioxidant enzyme, Catalase (CAT), Reduced glutathione (GSH), and Lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the brain of Danio rerio during 5, 10, 15 and 20 days of exposure period. For this study adult fishes were exposed to four different concentrations viz., 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/l of cobalt and 5, 9, 13, and 17 mg/l of lead.

“…Many industrial and agricultural processes have contributed to the contamination of fresh water systems thereby causing adverse effect on aquatic biota and on human health (Wang, 2002;Dautremepuits et al, 2004). The varied pollutants from the industries disturb the aquatic environment too and leads to environmental health hazards (Shukla et al, 2007;Gupta and Srivastava, 2006;Agtas et al, 2007;Yoon et al, 2008).…”

“…Fishes are largely being used for the assessment of the health of aquatic environment and can serve as bioindicators of environmental pollution. (Dautremepuits et al, 2004). Fishes are very susceptible to bioaccumulation in their tissues as they take up residues of contaminants from the water through the gills and skin (Ortiz et al, 2002).…”

Abstract:The hazardous effect of water pollution on the histopathology of selected organs of the freshwater fish Labeo rohita was studied with respect to thermal power plant effluent. The purpose of this research paper is to study whether the thermal plume can affect fish assemblages in the waters around the outlet area of the thermal power plant located at Koradi near Nagpur city. Both experimental and control fishes were monitored for a year from March 2010 to Feb. 2011. Histopathology serve as a tool to assess the extent of damage caused to the organism. Gill tissue showed fusion of primary lamellae, congestion of blood vessels and hyperplasia of bronchial plates. The histopathological changes in the gill tissue include epithelial hyperplasia, curling of secondary lamellae and changes in chloride cells. Besides these changes pyknotic nuclei, vacuolization, degradation of epithelial and pillar cells, were noticed, which point out towards deleterious effect of thermal power plant effluent on the freshwater fish L. rohita.
