ABSTRACT
The present study was conduct to assess the effect of Chlorpyrifos toxicity to enzymatic response to
fish Gambusia affinis. Alterations in certain enzymes have been examined in the kidney of a fish,
after exposure to 1/10th, 1/3rd and sub-lethal (LC50) dose of chlorpyrifos. Untreated fish served as
control. Enzyme estimations of ACP, ALP, LDH and ATPase activity in kidney of control as well as
in test Gambusia affinis were done.
The enzyme activity ACP, ALP and LDH was increased throughout the experimental period while
the ATPase activity was decline along the experimental period at three different concentrations of
chlorpyrifos was observed. Enzymatic studies are good parameters which help to see the effect of
pesticide on biochemical composition of vital tissue of fish. Hence attempt has been made to find out
enzymatic response in tissue like kidney of fish.
Keywords: Chlorpyrifos, Gambusia affinis, Kidney, LC50.
