To study the effect of pulsed magnetic field on karyology in the fish Labeo rohita, as karyological information of fish is becoming increasingly important in the field of cytotaxonomy (the study of natural relationships of organisms by a combination of cytology and taxonomy), gene mapping and mutagenesis. Moreover, karyotyping data can assess the efficacy of chromosomal engeneering in producing haploid, polyploid and parthenogenetic organisms.

|---|---|
| Chamber | aquarium fitted with aerato and maintained at 28-30°C |
| Setup | 10 fishes kept in the aquarium which was placed in the 4 coil system |
| Sham exposure | A sham exposure was conducted. |
| Additional info | coil system consisted of two larger coils and two smaller coils which were mounted co-planar and co-axially creating a disk shaped volume; diameters of the coils and the distances between them were chosen so that they presented a uniform axial magnetic field |

The karyological investigations revealed no distinct difference between exposed and control groups.
