Abstract
The freshwater fish Mysstus vittatus was exposed to 10% and 30% sublethal concentrations of (LC50 for 96 h - 0.0036 ppm) cypermethrin for a period of 10, 20 and 30 days to study the effect of cypermethrin on the biochemical composition of various organs such as muscle and liver. After stipulated time, the carbohydrate, protein and lipid content in the various tissues of Mystus vittatus under pesticide stress were found to be decreased when compared with control.
Keywords
