CHANGES IN BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF FRESHWATER FISH, CIRRHINUS MRIGALA EXPOSED TO ROGOR (INSECTICIDE)
K. Pechiammal* and K. Kiruthika
ABSTRACT
Environmental pollution is altering the entire flora and fauna of the
earth. Pesticides are major cause of concern for aquatic environment
because of their toxicity, persistency and tendency to accumulate in the
organisms. Biochemical parameter in the different organs of the test
fish can primarily be attributed to the differences in the physiological
role of each organ. LC50 value of Rogor for Cirrhinusmrigala at 24,
48, 72 and 96hrs were calculated. The amount of protein, carbohydrate
and lipid content in Cirrhinusmrigala exposed to rogor (insecticide)
decreased in all experimental groups when compared to control.
Keywords: Cirrhinusmrigala, Insecticide, Biochemical parameters.
