Description 138-143
Fluoride is the organic and inorganic compound of the element fluorine, has detrimental effect to all animals including fish
at higher concentration. Ground water with elevated concentration of fluoride is a major global problem including India. On the
other hand, Morinda citrifolia (also called ‘Noni’ in Polynesia) is a medicinal plant, has antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and
immunostimulatory properties. The ameliorating effect of M. citrifolia fruit extract dietary supplementation against fluoride
induced toxicity on the growth performance, haematological parameters, and fluoride accumulation in the muscular tissue was
investigated in the freshwater fish, Cyprinus carpio L. for 35 days in triplicate. One hundred and twenty acclimated C. carpio
fingerlings were randomly allocated into five experimental groups (Groups I, II, III, IV and V) each with 24 fish divided into
three replicates (eight fish/replicate). Group I (Control) and II (Toxic control or negative control) were provided with
basal/control diet, whereas groups III, IV, and V were provided with 0.25% (2.5 g/kg), 0.50% (5.0 g/kg) and 0.75% (7.5 g/kg)
M. citrifolia fruit extract supplemented diet respectively. All groups except for group I were exposed to 10% of the LC50 of
fluoride. Selected growth and haematological parameters were estimated. The fluoride content in the muscular tissue of fish was
also estimated following SPADNS method. Results revealed that exposure of sublethal concentration of fluoride significantly
