Abstract

This paper deals with the acute toxicity of  distillery wastewater on freshwater catfish,  Mystus vittatus (Bloch), at different  concentration and duration of exposure on the  mortality and ethological alterations. The LC50 for 96 hours of treated distillery effluent for  Mystus vittatus was 3.38 % (v/v). The result  revealed that mortality rate depends upon  concentrations of distillery wastewater and  duration of exposure. The effluent exposed test  fish showed alterations in behavioural responses  viz., hyperactivity (jumping and surface activity),  convulsion, somersaulting activity, eye and fin  movement and equilibrium status. It was  observed that with the increasing concentration  and exposure period these activities were  relatively increased, expressing the sign of  distress. Thus, the result of present study revealed that fish, Mystus vittatus are sensitive  to distillery wastewater and can be used as  biological indicators.
