Oxygen Consumption in Anabas Testudineus To Selected Lethal & Sublethal Concentration of Dimethoate and Cypermethrin Individually at Selected Periods
Keywords:
Anabas testudineus, Dimethoate, Cypermethrin Oxygen Consumption.Abstract
The Fish Anabas testudineus exposed to Lethal & Sublethal Concentration of both pesticides, dimethoate & ciperimethrin for different period of exposures showed frequent surface breaking to engulp ari especially in higher concentrations, reflects the inability of the gills to cope the normal oxygen uptake as in evident by about three fold increase in surface breaking and initial increase followed by decrease after considerable period in opercular beat, also indicates injury to gill tissue.
