HAEMATOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL STUDIES OF FRESH WATER FISH, CHANNA ORIENTALIS (SCH) EXPOSED TO NOVEL DERIVATIVE OF 1, 3, 5-TRIAZINE

Abstract

The fish C. orientalis was exposed to triazine derivative i.e.1-phenyl-2-thio (1H)-4-[(1-phenyl-2-thio (1H)-6-amino-
1, 2-dihydro-1, 3, 5-triaz-4-yl)]-amino-6-phenylamino-1, 2-dihydro-1, 3, 5-triazine which was synthesized from 2-
phenylimino-4[(2-imino-6-phenylimino)-1, 3, 5-thiadiaz-4-yl]-amino-6-phenylimino-1, 3, 5-thiadiazine. To study
the effect of triazine, the experiments were conducted in two different phases. In first phase, lethal concentration
of toxicant was determined and in the second phase, toxicity was studied with respect to selected lethal concentration
of toxicant. The study revealed that the fishes were sensitive to the triazine derivative, high concentration of triazine
was very toxic to aquatic organism. 1, 3, 5-triazine treatment inflicted a drastic reduction in the total count of RBCs
and WBCs along with morphological changes in the fish.
