Alterations in the blood components of the fresh water fish Labeo rohita are studied after exposing them to both technical grade and 10% EC of bifenthrin a synthetic pyrethroid as toxicants for 10 days in 1/10th of LC50 values 96 hrs LC50 values as sub lethal and lethal of 4 days. The parameters that are studied include Erythrocytes (RBC), Leucocytes (WBC), Haemoglobin (Hb) Haemotocrit (Ht), Mean Corpscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean Corpscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC). The first four are determined and the last three are calculated values. Except WBC, all others are decreased as quantitative alterations and will be the impediments for the normal functioning of all physiological processes and are the one of the biomarker study of the toxicity and will be the indices of toxicity and pollution load.
