Flouride toxicity has acquired a massive form in present times since we have to dig deeper and deeper in search of drinking water. Deeper levels are richer in toxic metals and non metals like Arsenic and Flourides. The present study takes a common freshwater fish Channa punctatus as a bioassay of fluoride toxicity and studies the effects of reversal of toxic effects by use of Ascorbic acid and by keeping the fish in clean water. The results have been compiled in the form of graphs and photomicrograph.

<p>Freshwater fish, channa punctatus caught from Yamuna river studied for toxicity and biological parameters. In the present study short-term (96 hr) toxicity of mercury in relation to estimation of hematological test for channa punctatus. The control fishes showed mean value of 75.00 g/dL for hemoglobin. The fishes were exposed to sub- lethal concentration of mercuric chloride showed the hemoglobin mean values of 67.2, 50.8, 42.6 and 29.2 g/dL hemoglobin at 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.10 ppm treatment respectively. The values for treatments showed a significant decrease when compared to the control (P-0.05).The heavy metals has a direct effect on the 96-hr LC50 values of the respective heavy metals and the susceptibility of fish.</p>
