Abstract

Organophosphorous pesticides are mainly used to destroy  harmful insects or pests which infect agricultural field,  forests and houses. Increasing amount of agricultural,  domestic and industrial chemicals into the aquatic  environment lead to deleterious effects on the aquatic  organisms. The biochemical study is recognized as a  valuable tool for evaluating health status, physiological and  pathological condition of fish. The present study deals with  the level of imbalance evolved by the sub-lethal  concentration of phorate on the tissue biomolecule of  Channa punctatus. The pesticide, phorate was involved in  the metabolic regulation of carbohydrate, protein and lipid  in muscles, liver and kidney of Channa punctatus.  Although, the mechanism is not clear that how phorate  interferes in the metabolic process of these biomolecules.  During recovery period, the tissue carbohydrate, protein  and lipid content recorded a pattern towards normalcy  when compared with 96 h exposed fishes.
