Abstract :

The toxic effect of the insecticide Chlorantraniliprole on oxygen consumption and some biochemical characteristics (total protein, carbohydrate and cholesterol in liver, muscle, kidney and gills) of the Labeo rohita fish were estimated. The data shows that the rate of oxygen consumption was declined during all the exposure periods. Similarly, the biochemical parameters were found to be decreased in all the insecticide treated tissues with control.
