Histopathological responses of the gill and liver tissues of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings to herbicide, glyphosate
Abstract: African catfish, Clarias gariepinus fingerlings were exposed to sub lethal concentrations of herbicide, glyphosate (0, 0.05, 0.1%, v/v) over 42 days period. The gills showed marked alterations in the epithelia in response to glyphosate treatment. There was fusion in adjacent secondary lamellae resulting in hyperplasia, with profound oedematous changes, characterised by epithelial detachment. In …
