Effect of Hair Dressing Salon Effluent on the Juveniles of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
The toxicity of hair dressing salon effluent on Clarias gariepinus juveniles was studied using static bioassay method. This study investigated haematological, histopathological and biochemical changes in Clarias gariepinus juveniles. The fish samples were distributed randomly into T1 (800 ml/L), T2 (600 ml/L), T3 (400 ml/L), T4 (200 ml/L), and T5 control (water alone). All samples were studied in three replicates, in a completely randomized experiment. Mortality increased with increased effluent concentrations; 250.96 ml/L was recorded as LC50 for 96 h.
