Abstract

Tissue homogenates of the Indian riverine major carp Catla catla revealed the extent of alkaline phosphatase activity to be higher than that of acid phosphatase activity. Phosphatases activity as a function of sublethal concentrations of chromium evidenced a general decline reflecting injury to lysosome due to stress in the biological system. Dose as well as exposure period dependent statistically significant (p<0.05) inhibition in acid phosphatase activity in liver and intestine, and alkaline phosphatase activity in muscle, liver, gill and intestine of Catla catla are advocated as bioindicators of water borne heavy metal chromium stress.
