Abstract

Farmers still use the pesticides as the most effective weapon to protect the crop. Chlorpyriphos is most widely used organophosphate pesticide and being broad spectrum of harmful effects. Therefore present investigation aimed to study the effect of chlorpyriphos on biochemical constituents of fish, Channa gachua. In acute toxicity (96 hrs.) experiment the fish C. gachua exposed to LC0 and LC50 concentrations of pesticide. Significant depletion in glycogen content was observed in muscle, gill, liver, kidney and brain when compared to the control. The total protein content was decreased in all above tissues whereas fluctuations was also observed in lipid content. From the results it was concluded that the harmful pesticide caused significant depletion in biochemical composition of fish, this may be due to the utilization of these constituents for high energy demand, to cope up with pesticidal stress. Hence the harmful pesticide intoxication has made defective consequences in the normal metabolic pathways which led increasing the rate of mortality in fish population.
