Highlights

  • The use of agrochemicals such as fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides has become a vital component of modern day agricultural practices, the disproportionate use of these agrochemicals may lead to the problem of environmental contamination [1]

  • No such histopathological alterations were found in the liver of control fish (Fig.1)

  • At 9.87 g L−1, the severity exaggerated with wide vacuolar degeneration, necrosis, picnotic nucleus along with damage of hepatocytes (Fig. 3) as compared to 1.975 g L−1 with less rigorous impact (Fig. 2)

Summary

Introduction

The use of agrochemicals such as fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides has become a vital component of modern day agricultural practices, the disproportionate use of these agrochemicals may lead to the problem of environmental contamination [1]. The eventual sink for many of these contaminants is the aquatic environment, either due to direct discharges or to run-offs and other processes [2]. Such anthropogenic compounds and their metabolites which contaminate aquatic ecosystems have been reported to impact on aquatic life, especially fish [3]. Urea [(NH2)2CO] is the most commonly used nitrogen containing fertilizer and its utilization is escalating progressively. The use of urea as a nitrogen fertilizer and feed additive has been increased 100-fold in the past few decades in the world, with a doubling in just the past decade alone [4]. Fertilizers have been found to impact fish health by way of spray drift [5]
