Ameliorative Potentials of Azadirachta indica (Neem Leaf) on Effects of Diclofenac on Haematological Parameters and Growth Rate of Heteroclarias
The uncontrolled release of diclofenac (DCF) effluents from the factories into the water bodies can cause physiological disorders in aquatic animals, especially fish. This study examined the haematological and growth responses of Heteroclarias exposed to six definitive concentrations (0.0. 4.0, 8.0, 12.0, 16.0 & 20.0 mg/l) of DCF for 96 h and evaluated the ameliorative potentials of Azadirachta indica (Neem leaf) through different percentage (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%) inclusion in the fish diet for a period of 30 d.
