Abstract
India is rich in inland fishery resources, but the indiscriminate use of the pesticides causes serious threat to such resources like water and land. Pesticides are stable compounds and they enter into the aquatic ecosystem through the agricultural runoff. The pesticides, which enter the body tissues of the fish, affect the physiological activities and the nature of biochemical components like protein and glycogen. Based on the various concentrations of the monocrotophos a pesticide employed the amount of protein and glycogen contents in the muscle of the fish decreases slowly sometimes rapidly on prolonged exposure even at the same concentration. A clear and steady increase in the rate of opercular movement and followed by decreased rate of oxygen consumption was observed with increasing concentrations of the pesticide monocrotophos.
