Abstract
Fish Saccobranchus fossilis were exposed to various subacute levels (0.45, 0.56, 0.75, 1.12, and 2.24 mg l−1) of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) for periods of 30 and 60 days, and the haematological response in blood was investigated. A significant fall (P < 0.05) in coagulation time was observed after 30 days exposure to 2.24 mg l−1 and 60 days exposure to 1.12 and 2.24 mg l−1 of this syndet. Reduction of haemoglobin, at RBC and WBC was observed at all the syndet levels and at both the exposure periods. Significant (P < 0.05) increases in hematocrit values were noted at 2.24 mg l−1 of SLS at both exposures.
