Abstract

The effect of chronic exposure of sublethal concentration (5%) of vegetable oil factory effluent on ovarian maturation of Channa punctatus was studied. The process of ovarian recrudescence was significantly retarded as evidenced by the low ovarian weights and low occurrence of Stage III (Yolky) oocytes in the ovaries of effluent-exposed fish. A high incidence of atresia was also noticed in the ovaries of fish exposed to the effluent.
