Chronic toxicity studies on proximate composition of Cyprinus carpio exposed to fenthion
Author(s): Leena Muralidharan
Abstract: The present study indicates proximate composition, including protein, carbohydrates, moisture, LSI and lipids contents of fresh water fish Cyprinus carpio chronically exposed to fenthion. In the present study the significant decrease in glycogen, protein, and increase in lipid and moisture content could be observed. Significant drop in LSI observed in Fenthion treated C. carpio clearly indicates fall in nutritional value or quality of food.
