Abstract

The present investigation was designed to study  the effect of sublethal concentration of paper mill  effluent on the total protein and amino acid  contents in muscles, liver and gill of Channa punctatus after exposure to 96 hours. A  significant decrease in protein content with  increase in amino acids content in muscles, liver  and gill of effluent exposed fishes was observed.  A reduction in the protein content and  enhancement of free amino acids in the muscles,  liver and gill of experimental fish suggests that  the tissue protein might have undergone  proteolysis, during the stressful situation. Thus,  the present study concludes that the protein  metabolism of fish Channa punctatus affected  during effluent exposure and reduces the  nutritive value of fish.
