Results and Discussion
Micronucleus Frequency
From the experiment we observed, when treated with only sodium arsenite, total number of normal cells 180, micronucleus 59 and abnormalities 32.77%. Again when treated with only spirulina the total number of normal cells 185, micronucleus 16 and abnormalities 8.64%. Result of Control gives total number of normal cells 170, micronucleus 5 and abnormalities 2.94%.Micronucleus frequency always increases with time in fish in relation to genotoxicity, which was greater when treated with as than in fish treated with spirulina. When treated with both (sodium arsenate + Spiraling) the cells turn over sub lethal condition decreases micronucleus frequency, total number of normal cells 171, micronucleus 27 and abnormalities 15.78%. The micronucleus observations are showed on Figure 1.The final results showed in the Table 1 and Figure 2(a,b,c).
