Abstract
The preset study was including the effects of Kerosene toxicity on the behavior of Khishni fish Liza abu (Heckel). and determination of Median lethal concentration (LC50), lethal concentration (LC100), sub - lethal concentration (LC0), Median lethal time (LT50) and lethal time (LT100). The diluent concentrations of kerosene were used 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.5%, 2.5%, 5%, 10% and 12.5%. The results indicate that kerosene was affected the fishes behavior especially the high concentration. Killing of all fishes recorded for 96 hours exposure time in concentration 10%and 12.5% respectively. The LC50, LC100, and LC0 for fishes exposed to kerosene were 1.5%, 10% and 0.25% respectively. The LT50 for fishes exposed to kerosene was 144 hours in concentration of 0.5%, 120 hours in concentration of 0.75% and 1%, 84 hours in concentration 2.5%, 72 hours in concentration 5% and 24 hours in concentration 10%. The LT100 was 144 hours in concentration 5%, 72 hours in 10% and 24 hours in concentration 12.5%.
