EFFECT OF MALATHION AND TEMPERATURE COMBINATION ON BLOOD GLUCOSE AND UREA LEVELS OF GOBIID FISH GLOSSOGOBIUS GIURIS( HAM)

Abstract

Exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of malathion (0.05,0.25 and O.5 ppm) for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs at laboratory temperature (27 ± 1 °C) the blood glucose level has gradually declined after 96 hrs exposure of 0.5 ppm malathion. The blood urea level was significantly elevated after treatment with high concentration (0.5 ppm) for longer duration (96 hrs). In malathion temperature (20 °C and 30 °C) combinations show a significant decrease of blood glucose level prominently at 30 °C after exposure to 0.5 ppm for 72 and 96 hrs than in 20 °C. Increase blood urea levels were conspicuous at 30 °C for 24 to 96 hrs at high concentration (0.5 ppm) of malathion than in 20 °C.
