  Success in fish culture is influenced by several factors.

The influence of Atrazine (a systemic herbicide), coconut water (Cocos nucifera: also called coconut milk due to its rich nutrients content) and Phyllanthus muellerianus extract (a medicinal plant) on the gonads and liver were investigated. Ten fish were randomly selected and cultured in each tank containing 40 L of water for a particular treatment with three replicates. The average weight 76.26 ± 0.92 g and standard length 22.50 ± 0.61 cm were used for Atrazine experiment. For coconut water, the fish of weight 62.86 ±1.52 g and standard length 19.68 ± 0.73 cm were used. In Phyllanthus muellerianus .. View More»
