Abstract
In the resent study acute short ten static bioassays were carried out on La beo rohita with tannery and textile dye industry effluents. The 96 hour LC5 0 values suggest that tannery effluents were more toxic than textile dye in dustry effluents. Light microscopic studies exhibited severe histopathologi cal alterations in the liver tissue of the fish exposed to the effluents.
