ABSTRACT

Malathion is a widely used organophosphate pesticide, with a significant impact on aquatic ecosystems. Various researchers have studied the toxic effects of Malathion on fish, summarizing the histological, biochemical and haematological changes caused by sublethal exposure. This communication focuses on the review of the sub-lethal effects of Malathion in some freshwater fishes.

KEY WORDS : Acute toxicity, Biochemical parameters, Haematology, Histology, Malathion, Organophosphate pesticide, Sub-lethal effect.
