Cell types in the peripheral blood of an air-breathing fish Channa punctatus

Abstract: Different cell types found in the peripheral blood of Channa punctatus, an air-breathing freshwater fish have been characterized and identified using morphological, morphometric, cytochemical and autoradiographic techniques. Some of the cytochemical methods used, particularly that of differential staining of haemoglobin have been developed and used for the first time in fishes.

Aqueous Leachate of Lantana camara Kills Water Hyacinth

Abstract: Lantana camara, a terrestrial plant, was screened for allelopathic impact on water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). Water hyacinth was allowed to grow in experimental pots containing 3% aqueous leachate (w/v) of Lantana twigs. The leachate was allelopathic to the growth of water hyacinth, and killed water hyacinth after 21 days under the experimental conditions. Leachate concentrations from 1–3% of Lantana were highly toxic to water hyacinth plants. Leachate from young Lantana twigs with prickly orange, pink, and yellow flowers (multicolored) was more toxic than leachate from mature twigs. This study indicates the potential for utilization of terrestrial allelopathic species such as Lantana camara to suppress the growth of water hyacinth.
