Abstract


Imidacloprid is the most extensively used insecticide against agricultural insect pests in recent times; unfortunately, their excessive use has some detrimental effect to non-target organism such as fish and ultimately humans. In this research work Oreochromis niloticus (Gift Tilapia) was exposed to very low sublethal concentration of imidacloprid for 2,4, 8 and 16-days experimental conditions. Exposure of 6.5mm/L a low dose of imidacloprid can also have the ability to elicit some serious impairment in metabolism, morphological, Hematological, physiological, structural, biochemical and abnormal behavioral responses.  Hematological changes lead to alteration in the normal hematological profile with a significant reduction in the level of erythrocytes, Hemoglobin, mean cell Hemoglobin concentration, leucocytes, Packed cell volume value and platelets moreover increase in Mean cell Volume (MCV) and MCH in experimental group. Biochemical analysis showed the increase in serum aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and hypercholesterolemia.  The findings suggested that the prolonged exposure of very low dose of imidacloprid also have the potential to alter the histology of liver and heart, and blood serum biochemical parameters by exerting some serious metabolic distress to fish.
