Abstract

The aim of the present study was to find out the effect of trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium on biochemical composition of fresh water fish Labeo rohita (Ham.). The 96 hour LC50 value was determined and one tenth and one fifth of the 96 hour LC50 concentrations of trivalent and hexavalent chromium were chosen as sub lethal concentrations for different exposure periods. The present study result shows an appreciable depletion of glycogen, total protein and total lipid in liver and muscle of the fish under chromium stress and hexavalent chromium was more toxic.
