Sachin Rastogi, Pushpa Yadav

Abstract :

 Present study was aimed to observe the behavioral changes due to Hg (0.1mg/l) toxicity in the freshwater catfish Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch). The fishes exhibited erratic swimming, thick mucus secretion over body surface, skin soars and jerky movements. Fishes tried to leap out of aquarium during experiments. Freshwater catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis were subjected to evaluate toxic impact of cadmium on fish behavior. The exposed animals showed avoidance, increased irritation, frequent surfacing, restlessness, fast opercular beat, irregular movement, loss of balance.
