Alterations in the acid phosphatase activity of freshwater fish cirrhinus mrigala exposed to organic solvent methanol
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Toxicological effects of Methanol on Acid Phosphates’ (ACP) activity in Intestine, Liver and Muscle tissues of freshwater fish Cirrhinus mrigala were observed. The experimental fishes were obtained from Government fish seed production center, Dhom, Tal-Wai, Dist- Satara. The fishes were exposed to lethal concentrations (LC0-11ml/l and LC50-13.05ml/l) for 96 hrs and sub lethal concentrations of LC50 (0.65ml/l and1.30ml/l) for 30 days to organic solvent Methanol. The experimental result illustrated decreased values of Acid Phosphates activity in the treated group as compared to control. The observations confirm the toxicological effects of Methanol as it alters enzymatic activity in freshwater fish Cirrhinus mrigala. The observations suggest that Methanol causes deleterious effects to aquatic organisms especially to inhabiting fish population at higher concentrations.
