Abstract

The present paper described the short term effect of organophosphorus pesticide malathion and  magnesium  sulphate individually and in combination on the erythrocytes  of  Channa  striatus.  The  result  obtained  showed  that  96  hours exposure  of  Malathion  decreases  erythrocytes  count  up  to  75%,  while  Magnesium  sulphate  showed  no  significant change in erythrocytes count .However, Magnesium Sulphate  in  combination  with  malathion  decreases  the  malathion toxicity to  erythrocytes  up  to  55.76%.  Thus  ,  present  findings  clearly  indicates  that  magnesium  sulphate  help  in reducing the toxicity of Malathion up to certain limit.
