| Volume : IV, Issue : III, April - 2014 CADMIUM INDUCED HISTOLOGICAL  AND  HISTOCHEMICALCHANGES IN THE SPLEEN OF FRESHW A TER FISH, TILAPIA MOSSAMBICA(PETERS) Meenakshi Sundaresan , None By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The investigation  was undertaken  to  study  the  gross,  histological  and  histochemical  changes 
that  occur  within  the  spleen  of  fish  after  treatment  with  cadmium  chloride.  Exposure  to  concentration  of  8 
ppm  for  6  days  and  22  days  was carried  out  on  the  fish.  Spleen  in  the  treated  fish  showed  necrosis, 
increased  haemopoiesis  with  8  ppm  for  6  days  and  followed  by  decrease  in  haemopoietic  activity  after  22 
days.  Haemosiderin  granules  increase  drastically  after  22  days.  The  secretion  of  mucus  appears  to 
increase with the treatment. The glycogen activity increased after treatment with 8 ppm for 6 days but 
showed  a  decline  after  22  days.  The  study  has  shown  that  alkaline  phosphatase  activity  increases  whereas 
the  acid  phosphatase  activity  decreases.  Keywords :  Article : Cite This Article : Meenakshi Sundaresan , None(2014).
