Abstract
In the present study sublethal dose of Padan (50SP) on Tilapia mossambica was studied. A significant decline in the biochemical parameter such as total protein, carbohydrate and lipid content was observed. As the pesticide concentration increases, higher decline in all the biochemical composition was noted. A dose dependent decrease of acetylcholinesterase activity in the brain and alkaline phosphatase activity in muscle was observed in the fish.
