Abstract

Investigation on the impact of known Insecticides (concentration of toxic chemical and exposure time) to a particular species involves the estimation of mortality or survival rate and evaluation of sublethal exposure on growth, behaviour and other parameters (blood metabolites, tissue metabolites and enzymes. LC50 of methyl parathion to the fish Anabas tisludineus was found 1.7mg/L.
