Abstract:

In this study the fresh water fish, Channa punctus (Bloch) is exposed to sublethal concentration (0.19ppm) of Imidacloprid for 24hrs, 48hrs, 72hrs and 96hrs exposure periods. The harmful toxic effect of this chemical is investigated by measuring key enzymes in carbohydrate metabolism. The investigation on substrates viz., Glycogen, Glucose, Pyruvate and Lactate is done during the exposure period. The levels of glycogen and pyruvate levels decreased while glucose and the lactate levels increased. From this data it can be concluded that Imidacloprid has more toxic effect by damaging the tissues at cellular level lead to modulation of the glycolytic enzyme. So the physiological significance of this toxicity is discussed.

Keywords:
