Abstract

Studies on xylachor (a weedicide) induced changes in  plasma and muscle protein content have been made  in an air breathing fresh water murrel fish, Channa  marulius (Ham.). It was observed that xylachlor at all  the concentrations (1.0 to 2.5ppm) brought marked  effect on the levels of plasma as well as muscle  protein of the fish under experiment causing a gradual  decrease in the value as compared to control upto 96hrs  of treatment in both sexes, thus indicating the  deteriorated nutrient value of the fish exposed to  xylachlor. The reason and mechanism of such changes  have been discussed in this paper.
