EFFECT OF HEAVY METAL TOXICITY, ARSENIC TRIOXIDE ON THE BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF FRESH WATER FISH, CLARIAS BATRACHUSMOHNISH PICHHODE AND S. GAHERWALAbstract With the increasing industrialization, urbanization and anthropogenic activities, pollution of heavy metal has spread worldwide. Most of the heavy metals like arsenic are polluted by mining and erosion of mountains and rocks. The current experiment observed many changes in the biochemical parameters of catfish (Clarias batrachus) due to arsenic trioxide, in which the blood serum protein of catfish was observed. Arsenic trioxide has reduced its protein content by observing catfish in arsenic trioxide contaminated water within the stipulated time, which is indicating that arsenic trioxide reduces or decreases protein content. |
