T. Arasta et al., EFFECT OF NUVAN ON SOME BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF INDIAN CATFISH, MYSTUS-VITTATUS, Journal of environmental biology, 17(2), 1996, pp. 167-169
Freshwater fish, Mystus vittatus were subjected to sublethal concentra
tions of Nuvan at 0.0005, 0.00025 and 0.000125 ppm. Changes in biochem
ical constituents (protein, lipid and glycogen) were determined Change
s were more pronounced in 15 days of exposure period. Values of protei
n and lipid contents showed decreasing trend due to severity of pestic
idal action, while glycogen content did not show any significant chang
