Abstract

Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate pesticide, it is used world wide. It take pivotal part in agricultural field to kill the pests in order to produce the highly verities of crop. The exposure of Chlorpyrifos shows the magnificent changes and alteration in non target organisms like fish. In present work Channa punctatus was used as non target animal. The fishes were acclimatized near about 10 days, dead and infected fished were removed immediately. The sub lethal concentration, 24 hours, 96hours, 7 days, 15 days and 30 days respectively was studied during research work. The work showed, gradual decline of protein as well as histopathylogical change in gill.

Keywords

Channa punctatus, Chlorpyrifos, Protein, Gills

Conclusion

The pesticide like organochlorine in which chlorpyrifos as a topic of interest was considered very harmful for both flora and fauna in an aquatic medium. The chlorpyrifos is mainly used in various orchids and agriculture purposes. As, is washed out through the rain and ultimately reaches to the nearby river or lakes. And ultimately affects directly or indirectly on the fauna organisms which in turn affect the human health by food chain.
