The effect of phenol on haematological components of Indian major carps, Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala were observed. After exposure to sublethal concentrations of 5.17 mg l(-1), 6.06 mg l(-1) and 6.99 mg l(-1), the number of red blood cells, haemoglobin content and packed cell volume all decreased but the glucose level increased. The order of decrease in the haematological co...

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)...

Abstract: The distributions of the product |XY | and the ratio |X/Y | are derived when X and Y are Pearson type VII and Laplace random variables distributed independently of each other. Extensive tabulations of the associated percentage points are also given. Zusammenfassung: Die Verteilungen des Produkts |XY | und des Quotienten |X/Y | sind hergeleitet, falls X und Y unabhängig verteilte Pears...
