Abstract

The present study has been carried out to study the toxic effects of pesticides as well as insecticides on fish. The use of pesticides in agriculture is recognized as a worldwide practice. Unfortunately, the environment and non-target creatures, especially aquatic life, may suffer if these pesticides are used carelessly in an attempt to increase agricultural productivity and output. The World Health Organization reports that there are more than 3 million cases of pesticide poisoning worldwide year, resulting in 220,000 deaths. Mutations are caused by several of these drugs.
