Effects of Sub lethal concentrations of Potassium Permanganate on Protein Content of Freshwater Fish: Catla catla

Dipti V. Totawar

Abstract :

The effect of KMnO₄ on protein content in different tissues of fresh water fish, Catla catla was studied by using Lowry’s Method (1951). The animals were exposed to acute exposure of the KMnO₄for the present study. The protein content in tissues such as gills, and muscles were observed. The protein levels in all the tissues were found to be decline on exposure to potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) under normal physiological condition excess of protein is stored in the tissues like and muscles in tissues of fish for common metabolic pathways. As per the requirement of animals it is utilized. On exposure to KMnO₄the magnitude of protein content was found to be directly linked to the duration of exposure
