TOXICITY OF PROPARGITE ON CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND FATTY ACID PROFILE IN MURREL, CHANNA STRIATUS

In this study, effects of propargite is an organosulfiteacaracide/miticide pesticide were investigated in Channa striatus, muscle and liver chemical composition, the total fatty acid profile and free fatty acid. Fish were exposed to sub lethal concentration as control, 1ppm, 2ppm of 15 days and 30 days of propargite. As a result of a study, chemical composition of muscle and liver of Channa striatus exposed moisture, crude protein and ash were significantly (P>0.05) different in the propargite concentration of 1ppm and 2ppm of 30 days then compared to 15 days and control. Estimation of muscle and Liver tissue saturated fatty acids (SFAs) as palmitic acids were increased in propargite 2ppm of 15 days while compared to control. Correspondingly, MUFAs, Oleic acid, were significantly differ and averagely increased in the concentration of propargite 1ppm of 15 days according to control group. Simultaneously PUFAs, C22:6n3 Docosahexaenoic acids were increased. In conclusion, changes observed among the chemical composition, fatty acid profile and total free fatty acid of muscle and liver in gas chromatography effect of propargite.
