Ameliorative Effects of Banana Inflorescence Musa sp to Mitigate the Impact of CuSO4 on Channa punctatus

Copper is highly toxic to fish, leading to harmful effects such as cell damage, genetic mutations, and cancer In aquatic environment it affects both human health and the aquatic ecosystem. Accumulation of copper sulphate on blood and tissue causes changes in the liver and kidney of Channa punctatus. Three sub-lethal concentrations of CuSO4 (0 .45 mg/l, 0.72 mg/l, and 1.2 mg/l) were taken, One group with pretreatment of BFE exposed to CuSO4, another group exposed to highest dose of CuSO4 were treated BFE. Changes noted at intervals of 10, 20, and 30 days of blood , and tissues samples in haematology and histological parameters. In chemically treated groups. A decrease in RBC and Hb counts ,increase in WBC counts , and some nuclear abnormalities were observed Improvement in blood parameters noted in fish treated with BFE. Chronological histopathological damage, including swelling of hepatic cells, hepatocellular necrosis, vacuolization, inflammation, and hepatic cell damage observed in fish exposed to CuSO4. In BFE treatment, improvements of vital organs were noted, with decreased inflammation, necrosis, and vacuolation in hepatic and renal structures. The banana inflorescence extract can be used as antioxidants to counteract the damage induced by copper sulphate in C. punctatus.
