Toxicity is represented as a series of physical and behavioral responses evident in an organism upon the exposure to any harmful chemicals. Fishes are the group of organisms, which are affected to these kinds of toxicities to a great extent, as they breathe, live and eliminate wastes on to the same water in which they are in. Phenol, on the other hand, is a harmful chemical to living creatures in a variety of ways, but it is employed in hospitals for a range of purposes. Phenol and phenol-contaminated materials are disposed, in waterways and landfills near hospitals in some regions, where waste disposal is inefficient. As a result, phenol may reach nearby water bodies, posing a major threat to fishes and other living organisms out there. Malathion is an insecticide that is widely employed in agricultural fields, which eventually finds its way into waterbodies. The impact of both of these toxins on Oreochromis mossambicus, a renowned robust fish, which is a common inhabitant of freshwater and brackish water bodies, with reference to behavioral and hematological aspects, is the focus area of this study.
