Abstract

An attempt has been made to investigate Alphamethrin induced Biochemical alterations in Kidney of Clarias batrachus at 96 hours LC50 values (74 μl/l). Exposed fishes showed an increase in DNA content but decrease in RNA and protein content. Findings of the present investigation exhibit that Alphamethrin is extremely toxic to the studied fishes and may induced the biochemical alterations in kidney of Clarias batrachus.
