Declarations
:
: All authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: According to the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals-CPCSEA (under Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of India), the edible fish which are used for laboratory experiments are exempted from obtaining Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC) approval.
: The study animal that we have utilized for the present work is <i>Systomus sarana</i> (Hamilton, 1882) which is an edible fish, and hence the necessity did not arise to acquire the approval from IAEC. However, we have followed the OECD Guidelines for safe handling of experimental animals.
