Impact of Imidacloprid 17.8 SI on Biochemical Parameters of the Fresh Water Fish Catla Catla

Use of pesticide in integrated farming in paddy field is recognized as a potential threat in aquatic organisms. The effect of sublethal toxicity of imidacloprid 17.8 SL pesticide on some biochemical parameters of a freshwater fish Catla catla were studied after 24 hr, 48 hr, 72 hr and 96 hr of exposure. The lethal concentration LC50 of imidacloprid 17.8 SL for 96 hr was 4.11 ppm. The study suggests that exposure to imidacloprid 17.8 SL at low concentration results in significant biochemical alterations. The biochemical response of C. catla to the exposure to sub lethal concentrations of imidacloprid 17.8 SL showed a significant decrease p 0.001 of proteins and glycogen in muscle and liver tissues compared to the control group. The observations from the present study showed that, imidacloprid 17.8 SL altered the biochemical composition of the various organs of test fish, due to utilization of biochemical energy to counteract the toxic stress.
