Abstract

Cypermethrin-induced alterations in the fish, Clarias batrachus were studied. The fish were exposed to cypermethrin at a concentration of 0.07 mg/L for 10 days. After 10 days, fish were released into freshwater to observe the recovery response. At the end of 1, 5, and 10 days of exposure and after transfer into freshwater, different parameters were estimated in muscle and kidneys. Reduction in proteins was observed in both tissues, and recovery response was seen in muscle and kidneys. Free amino acid and ammonia content was enhanced in muscle and kidney for the 10 days. Transaminases (ALAT and AAT) and glutamate dehydrogenase activities were increased in both tissues for 10 days exposure span. Enzyme activities did not show much of the recovery.
