Impact of Distillery Effluent on Behaviour and Oxygen consumption of Cyprinus carpio (L.)
Keywords:
Acute toxicity, Behavioral responses, Cyprinus carpio, Distillery effluentAbstract
This paper deals the toxic effect of distillery effluent on behaviour and oxygen consumption of fish, Cyprinus carpio. The LC50 values after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours exposure of distillery effluent were found 2.8, 2.5, 2.3 and 2.0%, respectively. The response of the fish towards toxicity was grossly dependent on concentration and length of exposure. The opercular activity of Cyprinus carpio significantly increased with increase in effluent concentrations. Surface activity was increased with increase in the concentration of effluent upto a certain percentage and decreased thereafter in distillery effluent exposed fishes. A strong decreased (8.13 to 67.54%) in the rate of oxygen uptake was recorded in distillery effluent exposed fishes. The effect was more pronounced as the concentration and duration of exposure of distillery effluent increased. Thus, the present study revealed that fish, Cyprinus carpio are sensitive to distillery effluent toxicity and can be used as biological indicators.
