This study investigates acute toxicity and histological effects of Lindane insecticide on intestinal tissues of immature grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). For these purposes, 105 fish were exposed to different concentrations of Lindane for 96 h in 5 groups with 3 replications. Samples of intestinal tissues were prepared in both control and exposure groups during and after the toxicity test. Vaculation, necrosis, bleeding and epithelial degeneration were apparent in the intestine tissue of treated individuals. The LC₅₀ 96 h of Lindane was 0.788 ppm in the present study, also the results showed besides pesticide-induced lesions, symptoms of abnormal swimming, anxiety, tendency to swim near the surface, and death due to terminal toxicity with mouth widely open. The exposed fish were pale in color, showed oxygen deficit and severe respiratory problems. Overall, our results confirm the toxicity of different concentrations of Lindane insecticide affecting behavior, intestinal function and inducing tissue lesions of immature grass carp.
