TOTAL PROTEIN ALTERATION IN LIVER AND GONADS OF A FRESHWATER TCICOST 'FISH5 AMBLYPHARYNGODON MOLA AFTER EXPOSURE TO MERCURIC CHLORIDE

A.D. Shelke and G.P. Wani

Abstract

Contamination due to heavy metals, being a major concern of chemical pollution, poses a serious threat to aquatic ecosystem. Effect of mercuric chloride on total protein contents of a liver and gonads of a freshwater telcost fish, Ambly pharyngodon mola was studied. The fishes were exposed to 0.2291 ppm. Mercuric chloride as acute treatment and 0.04583 ppm chronic treatments. A progressive decrease in total protein contents was found with respect to exposure period in liver and gonads after acute and chronic exposure to mercuric chloride.
