Abstract
The aim of the present study is to study the
significant Histological changes seen due to Organotin Compound TBTO on ovary
of fresh water bivalve species L. marginalis. Organotin compound is
generally used on large scale as biocide in Aquatic ecosystems. The bivalves
are bio-indicators to determine aquatic pollution on large scale in riverine
Ecosystem. Histological study of these reflects the health of an entire aquatic
ecosystem in the biomonitoring process. Histological responses may also serve
as Eco-toxicologically meaningful biomarkers since they form an important link
between effects at the biochemical level and those measured in whole organism.
The adverse effect of Tributyltin Oxide has been studied on ovary of freshwater
bivalve. To study the acute lethal dose of Tributyltin Oxide the acute toxicity
of TBTO is calculated under controlled laboratory conditions at 24 hrs, 48 hrs,
72 hrs and 96 hrs respectively. L. marginalis exposed to Tributyltin
Oxide to 4.2 ppm, 3.6ppm, 2.8 ppm and 1.6 ppm for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours
respectively and studied its effect on the ovary. Results were compared with
control group and illustrated histological changes in ovary. The results show
gradual degenerative changes in its ovary. The severe damage was observed in
the tissue of 72 & 96 hrs exposure to TBTO than compared to 24 & 48
hrs. Results showed damage to ovary tissue as exposure period increases and
this was noted for all three observations.
