| Abstract | ||
| Cyprinus carpio and Carassius auratus fishes were exposed to concentrations of malathion (2, 4, 8 and 20 ppm) for 96 hours. Muscle glycogen in each fish was investigated. The concentration of muscle glycogen was decreased from 0.56, 0.37, 0.25, 0.08 and 0.0125 ppm in C. carpio after exposure to 0, 2, 4, 8 and 20 ppm malathion insecticide respectively. The same is found for C .auratus in which concentration of muscle glycogen was decrease from 0.46, 0.175, 0.08, 0.04 and 0.02 ppm for the same trend of concentrations of malathion insecticide. C auratus fish showed Sharpe decrease in the concentration of muscle glycogen compared to C carpio. Significant differences (P<0.01) were observed. Reduction in glycogen is probably due to its rapid breakdown energy requirement of the fish or utilization by anaerobic glycolysis. | ||
