EFFECT OF POLO (AN INSECTICIDE) ON PROTEIN CONTENTS OF LIVER AND GONADS OF FRESH WATER FISH, LABEO ROHITA

Abstract

An insecticide Polo has strong pesticidal activity in freshwater teleost fish Labeo rohita when exposed to acute exposure period (24 h to 96 h) for 1.2 ppm, 2 ppm, 3 ppm, 4 ppm and 5 ppm. The LC 50 value for 96 h was 1.9. The aim of this work is to evaluate lethal effects of an insecticide Polo on fresh water fish, Labeo rohita. Result showed reduction in protein level in liver and Gonads
