      abstract = {This study was carried out to determine the toxicity of  copper sulphate to African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus).  The range – finding test was conducted twice in order to  get reliable values that could be used for the definitive  test. The toxicant (copper sulphate) was introduced at  varying concentrations of 10g/l, 20g/l, 30g/l and 40g/l in  the first range- finding test, while it was introduced at  concentrations of 2g/l, 4g/l, 6g/l and 8g/l in the second  range- finding test. However, in the definitive test, the  toxicant was introduced at varying concentrations of  0.1g/l, 0.125g/l, 0.15g/l, and 0.175g/l. From the  definitive test, the Median Lethal Concentration of copper  sulphate to Clarias gariepinus was found to be 0.175g/l.  The study showed that Clarias gariepinus fingerling  exhibited initial erratic movement, rapid opercular  movement, skin discoloration and loss of reflex. Also,  histopathological alterations such as the degeneration of  gill and liver tissues were observed in the fish that were  exposed to the toxicant. The water quality data were  analyzed by subjecting them to one – way Analysis of  Variance (ANOVA).Thus, the study indicates that copper  sulphate is toxic to Clarias gariepinus fingerlings.},
