Description
ABSTRACT
Surfactant p-NP found to affect the survival of snakehead fish, Ophiocephalus punctatus at LC-50. The organic metabolites such as protein, cholesterol and glucose showed significant changes during short term exposure to p-NP. All the organic metabolites in the serum were found increased significantly from the very first day to fourth day of exposure. This increase in the serum organic metabolites may be due to increase in the rate of metabolism in the liver. Increase in glucose indicates induction of glycogenolysis in the liver and increase in the cholesterol and protein could be due to endocrinal disruption.
Key words: Nonylphenol, fish, organic metabolites
