Why is it important?
The quality of ground and surface water is badly affected by the agricultural run-offs as they contain synthetic pesticides and fertilizer residues. When pesticides and chemicals contaminate water that becomes harmful to living beings when it consumes or comes in contact with fishes and other animals then it increases the incidences of mass mortality and also badly affects the fish survival, physiology, growth, reproduction, and overall behavior.
Perspectives
Normally neem oil a biopesticide is considered of low toxicity towards non-target aquatic life compared to organophosphorus pesticides. Therefore, the use of neem oil in fish farming and agricultural lands should be promoted to its productivity in enhancing immunity against retardation of the development of specific virulent.
