THE BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF FISH CHANNA PUNCTATUS ARE AFFECTED BY PULP AND PAPER MILL EFFLUENTS

Km Poonam Devi and Ajay Singh

Abstract

This study reported on the impact of paper mill effluents and pulp on the biochemical and physiological parameters of fish, specifically Channa punctatus. Samples of water were taken from the Aami River. The levels of total protein, total free amino acids, glycogen, and the activity of the enzymes transaminase were significantly altered in fish treated with various sub-lethal doses of bleached effluent of pulp and paper mill.
