English Abstract

The freshwater fish Catla Catla was exposed to Dicofol an Organochlorine pesticide and Cypermethrin a synthetic pyrethroid which is widely used in agriculture for several crops such as paddy, cotton and vegetables to control serious insects and mites in many areas of the Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India.

The LC50 values determined for Dicofol 18.5%EC and Cypermethrin 10%EC at 24hrs were 1.82ppb and 1.68ppb respectively.1 /10th of lethal concentration for 96hrs LC50 value is considered as sub lethal concentration.

The exposure of fish to a lethal concentration for 24hrs and sub lethal concentration for 8 days and investigated significant changes in the vital organs by following standard protocols.

The percent decrease of total proteins was observed.
