Abstract

Organophosphorus pesticides are used in agricultural areas. They are one of the most commonly used pesticides having potentially harmful toxic effects, introduced into the environment and human ambient. These pesticides areas utilized widely to ensure agricultural harvests against the harm brought about by different types of agricultural pests. Biochemical factors show explicit reactions to specific types of ecological pressure and can be used as a potential biomarker to study the impact of environmental conditions on the physiological processes of the organism. Keeping in view, the present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of CPF on protein and cholesterol levels in African catfish, Clarias gariepinus. The results of the present study showed that there was a decrease in the level of protein and cholesterol in the fishes exposed to different sublethal concentrations of CPF for 15 days as compared to the control. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the CPF alters the metabolic activity of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) in response to stress caused by the CPF.
