DEPLETION OF PROTEIN IN DIFFERENT TISSUES OF FRESHWATER FISH, RASBORA DANICONIUS AFTER EXPOSED TO COPPER SULPHATE

Mohate P. B. , Jagtap J. T

Abstract :

The freshwater fish, Rasbora daniconius exposed to 0.74ppm, 0.66 ppm, 0.53 ppm and 0.44 ppm concentration of Copper sulphate. At the end of each exposure period, fishes were sacrificed and tissues such as liver, kidney, muscle and gills were removed and analysed for Protein content. It showed decreased value of Protein content in all the tissues when compared to control. The depletion was maximum in liver. The result showed that depletion of protein in tissues of test animals due to the increase of period of acute concentration of Copper sulphate and also utilization of the products their degradation for metabolic purpsose.
