Dr. P. Naga Jyothi*
Abstract
The Indian Major carp fish Catla catla were collected from Kalyani
Dam reservoir near Tirupati. The fishes were exposed to sublethal
concentrations Lead chloride (Pbcl2), Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) For
45 days. Effect of these heavy metals on various biochemical and
metabolic enzymes of liver and muscle were observed.
Histopathological changes in liver and muscle tissue of catla catla
undergoes heavy metal stress. It is observed that increase in glutamate
oxalo acetate transaminase and glutamate transaminase activities were
noticed.
Keywords: Catla catla, Lead chloride, Mercuric chloride, histopathology, glutamate oxalo acetate transaminase, glutamate transaminase.
