Title Biotoxicity of mangroves on fingerlings of Liza macrolepis (Smith)
 
Creator Madhu, K

Subject Mangroves
 
Description Seeds, flowers, leaves, stem and root bark of seven species of mangroves
namely Acanthus i licifoflus, Acrost ichum aureum, Avicennia offic inalis,
Bruguiera cylindrica, Clerodendrum inerme, Excoecario agallocha and
Rhizophora mucronata were extracted with hot ethanol and water to
study the effects on fingeriings of Liza macrolepis . The dwarf variety of
A. off ic inaiis was also collected from Tuticorin for testing its biotoxicity.
The ethanol and aqueous extractSs did not show any difference in their
toxic action as far as lethality is considered. The total free sugar, protein
and cholesterol of muscle tissue of the tested fishes indicated that in all
cases of lethality by different extracts, there is considerable reduction.
The paper chromatography of various ethanolic extracts showed that
most of the extracts were containing 4 to 7 different chemical components.
