Description
Huma Naz and ten co-authors present a 2026 study on how pesticide mixes harm two common carp species in South Asian waters. Farm chemicals wash into rivers and ponds, where fish serve as early warning signs of pollution. The team tested two mixes built from three pesticides on Catla catla and Labeo rohita. They measured stress enzymes, DNA damage, and cell nucleus defects over four days of exposure.
Both mixes proved lethal at very low doses, and Catla catla was the more sensitive fish. Stress enzyme activity rose in most organs as exposure lengthened, though one enzyme fell in brain, heart, and muscle. Defects in cell nuclei and DNA damage also climbed with time. The authors conclude the mixes cause strong oxidative stress and genetic harm. They recommend these measures as markers for tracking pesticide pollution in water.
