Abstract:

Present study was aimed to investigate the effects of sub lethal concentrations of dimethoate, an organophosphate pesticide in juvenile common carps (cyprinus carpio var. communis) (10 ± 2 g). fishes were exposed to the sub lethal concentration of the pesticide available as per the literature under acute toxicity tests. Various behavioural responses like excessive mucus secretions, convulsions, uncoordinated movements, imbalanced swimming, scale erosion and reflex response were measured qualitatively as feeble (+), progressive (++), intense (+++) and severe (++++). Results indicated alterations in the behaviour of fishes with excessive mucus secretion, un-coordination, imbalanced swimming pattern and hemorrhages. Results indicated that dimethoate is a potent toxicant to common carps which induces profound behavioural toxicity.
