Determining the effect of Glyphosate Based Herbicide Roundup on Gill Structure of a Freshwater Crab, Barytelphusa cunicularis | Chapter 08 | Research Aspects in Biological Science Vol. 1

 The following aims guided the current research: 1. To determine the glyphosate herbicide's LC0 and LC50 values, and 2. To investigate the effect of glyphosate-based herbicides like Roundup on the histology of the test organism. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that also acts as a crop desiccant. Without harming or injuring agricultural plants, this pesticide might build up in it and be leached into groundwater. Freshwater creatures, which are not meant to be targets for these harmful components, are exposed to them and may exhibit a variety of physical alterations. These poisons could potentially enter the human body through the food chain. Histological experiments were used to investigate the extent of gill damage caused by the deadly exposure to roundup of the freshwater crab Barytelphusa cunicularis (Westwood 1836).

Histological experiments were used to investigate the extent of gill damage caused by the deadly exposure to roundup of the freshwater crab Barytelphusa cunicularis (Westwood 1836). The experimental crabs exposed to lethal doses of roundup showed significant histological changes over the period of 1 to 4 days of treatment. Histological techniques are a potential field of aquatic toxicology study because they provide a true image of the effects imposed and the role of xenobiotics in disrupting or destroying the critical organs of live creatures.
