Abstract
The present study was aimed to assess the effects of dietary flaxseed supplementation in mitigating the toxic impacts of Bisphenol A on the haematological parameters of food fish Labeo rohita (rohu) (Hamilton, 1822). Bisphenol A, a chemical integral to plastic manufacturing, has potential to impact humans and aquatic fauna. The experiment involves three groups: A, B, & C. The group A was served as control group, while group B was exposed to BPA dose and fed a standard diet. Group C received the same BPA dose as Group B but supplemented with a flaxseed- enriched diet. Blood samples were collected at 7th, 14th, and 21st days. Haematological parameters, including red blood cells count (RBC), haematocrit (hct) & Haemoglobin concentration (Hb), platelets count, white blood cells (WBC) count and blood indices like mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) & mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were analysed. The BPA treated group shows significant (p < 0.05) changes, reduction in values of RBC, Hb, Hct, MCV and Platelets, while the value of WBC and MCH get increased. Group C shows significantly (p < 0.05) increase in Hb, RBC & platelet count, Hct percentage and in MCV value from group B. The WBC count also get increase in group C as compare to control group. The study highlights that a flaxseed diet positively impacts hematological parameters in L rohita exposed to BPA toxicity. Incorporating bioactive compounds like flaxseed into fish diets enhances their health and resilience against waterborne toxicants. Additionally, hematological parameters are identified as reliable biomarker for assessing fish health in ecotoxicological research.
