Abstract :

Chromium is a metallic elementconsidered as heavy metal treated as major pollutant. Lactate is the major end product of anerobic glycolysis in muscle. Muscle is the nutritional part of the fish.The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of chromium on Lactate in selected muscle tissues of a fresh water fish,Labeorohita. The alterations in Lactate activity on exposure to sublethal concentration (1/10 of LC50, 96hrs) of chromium for 7 days and 30 days was investigated in the present study. In the present investigation cardiac muscle is found to have higher Lactate content compared to the rest of the tissues and the sequence is as follows: PR > CR > PP > CW > CM
