Abstract
The genotoxicity of carbaryl was evaluated through Chromosomal Aberration Test on gill cells in freshwater fish Channa punctatus. Fishes were acclimatized in laboratory and divided into control and experimental groups. Two sublethal concentrations of carbaryl (0.1ppm and 0.5ppm) were identified and experimental fishes were exposed to these concentrations for a period of 144 hrs. Chromosomal aberrations were increased in carbaryl treated group, both were greater at higher concentration of carbaryl. These finding indicate that carbaryl is able to cause genotoxic effects in Channa punctatus.
