In aquatic toxicology, fishes have been employed as recognized forms for studying toxic responses of herbicides. The present study was conducted on acute exposure of herbicide pendimethalin on fresh water fish Channa punctata (Bloch) exposed to sub-lethal doses (1.14 and 2.28 ml/l), for 96 hours. The results when compared to the control group, the fish exposed to pendimethalin showed a significant decrease in Hemoglobin content, number of red blood cells and white blood cell. Glucose content increases significantly which is an indicative response of the organism to the toxicant stress. However, a significant increase in SGPT and SGOT was also recorded with an increase in the exposure period.
