Abstract

In the present investigation, the effect of sublethal fractions ( 1 4 th , 1 8 th and 1 16 th of 96-hr LC 50) of thiotox and dichlorvos on blood glucose, lactate, and liver and muscle glycogen levels of Clarias batrachus, Saccobranchus fossilis, and Mystus vittatus, exposed for 30 days, have been studied. It was observed that blood glucose and lactate levels increased from 29.13 to 98.36% and from 10.88 to 36.36%, respectively. The liver and muscle glycogen decreased from 22.99 to 69.30% and from 5.19 to 32.19%, respectively. The reasons for this carbohydrate imbalance have also been suggested.
