Interference of Synthetic Pyrethroid Deltamethrin on fecundity Zebrafish, Danio rerio”

Dr.D.NALINI, DR. YUGHANDAR REDDY

Abstract

The present study is designed to know the possible disruption caused by deltamethrin in the mature male and female adult zebrafish. In order to screen the possible places of interference of this toxicant, “Fecundity” were selected as the end points. This parameter has specific focus in understanding the reproductive functioning of Zebrafish in control and treated fishes in different concentrations of deltamethrin.
