The toxic effects of two different sublethal concentrations (one-third and one-tenth of the 96 hrs LC50 value) of arsenic on fresh water fish, Labeo rohita have revealed significant changes in the tissues like liver and muscle of the fish. The fish exposed to the lower and higher sublethal concentration of arsenic for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days has showed reduction in the protein content in liver and muscle tissues.

Abstract


The toxic effects of two different sublethal concentrations (one-third and one-tenth of the 96 hrs LC50 value) of arsenic on fresh water fish, Labeo rohita have revealed significant changes in the tissues like liver and muscle of the fish. The fish exposed to the lower and higher sublethal concentration of arsenic for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days has showed reduction in the protein content in liver and muscle tissues.
