ABSTRACT
The present study deals with the toxic effect of an organo phosphate pestiide, Bayrusil on the Kidney and
intestine of an airbreathing fish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch). Shrinkage of glomeruli, formation of narrow spaces
in the Bowman's capsule, flattening of the cells of renal epithelium in the kidney mass and disruption of serosal layer,
loose texture of circular and longitudinal muscle, rupture of intestinal villi at some places were some of the histopathological changes in the Kidney and intestine of the test fish under bayrusil exposure.
Key words :Bayrusil, H. fossilis kidney, Histopathology.
