Abstract

Freshwater fishes are the primary and cheapest  sources of protein for humans. The quality and  quantity of protein generally determine the  nutritive value of the fishes. These values are  progressively worsening due to the  environmental contaminants that appear in  aquatic habitats. Nutritive values of protein in  the tissues of fish are inversely proportionate to  the total of pollutants that appear in aquatic  habitats. Detergents are one of the major  toxicants that rapidly contaminate lakes, rivers,  ponds, streams, and creek bodies. Hence the  present study aimed to determine the effect of  sublethal concentrations of commercial  detergents (Surf Excel, Ariel, Rin, and Nirma) on  the protein content of freshwater fishes, Indian  Carp (Catla catla), Rohu (Labeo rohita), Catfish  (Clarias gariepinus) and Tilapia (Oreochromis  niloticus). The protein contents were determined  in the fish tissues of muscles, liver, and gills at  different time exposure of 24, 48, 72, and 96  hours. The results show the quantity of all tissue  proteins significantly decreased with an increase  in concentrations of all four detergents and  exposure time. Based on the findings, we suggest  that random discharge of detergents into water  bodies should be averted.
