Vanadium toxicity to fish Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch)
Author(s): Ajaya Bikkini and Prasanta Nanda
Abstract: Vanadium toxicity to fish Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) was studied for a period of two weeks. When the fishes were exposed to 1, 4 and 7 ppm of Vanadium (NaVO
3), the biochemical parameter like glucose increased significantly (
p<0.001) from the control value in different tissues. Whereas the protein content in tissues like liver, muscle and kidney decreased significantly (
p<0.001) from the control. The LC
50 value was found to be 13.2 ppm.
