Biochemical investigations on monocrotophos exposed fish, Channa gachua (Ham.)
نویسنده
چکیده
The freshwater fish, Channa gachua was exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of an organophosphorus pesticide, monocrotophos. The fish was exposed to acute toxicity of monocrotophos for 16, 24 and 48 hours while for chronic toxicity it was exposed for 15, 30 and 45 days. The monocrotophos was found to be toxic to the fish, which was found to be increasing with the increase of its concentration. Alterations in various biochemical parameters of fish were observed. The exposure of 0.072 ppm concentration of monocrotophos led to the addition in cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase in plasma, triglyceride in plasma, serum bilirubin, serum creatinine, SGPT and SGOT while reduction in plasma glucose, total protein and lipid peroxidation.

Activity of a few biomarkers have been investigated on freshwater fish Channa punctatus treated with monocrotophos for acute exposure to 18.56 ppm at 96 hr and subacute exposure viz. 0.46 ppm, 0.96 ppm and 1.86 ppm for 30 days. Biomarkers such as total protein, lipid peroxidation and acetylcholinesterase have been measured in different tissues of fish viz. gills, liver, brain and muscles. The p...
متن کاملHepatic Glutamate dehydrogenase activity and the presence of ammonia and urea in the circulatory fluid of Channa gachua in water-restricted condition
Ammonia is the chief excretory product in fishes. However, non-availability of enough of water in the habitat, may lead to the formation of urea, in fishes. In the present study, the possible role of urea formation to avoid the toxicity of ammonia under water-restricted condition was tested in Channa gachua. Circulatory urea and ammonia were estimated in the blood of the fishes and glutamate de...

The response of NADPH cytochrome C reductase (NCCR) activity in liver of Labeo rohita fish exposed to the pesticides, 0.25 microgl(-1) endosulfan and 2 mg/l monocrotophos was studied. In terms of specific enzyme activity (mU/mg protein) a significant level of NCCR was observed in the liver tissues of Labeo rohita exposed to the pesticides, when compared to the control fish (2.460 mU/mg protein)...
