Nucleic Acid Content In Female Fresh Water Fish Notopterus Notopterus Exposed to Copper Sulphate

Ravikiran. K And R. S. Kulkarni

Abstract :

The nucleic acid content in different tissues such as ain, liver, kidney & ovary of both control and copper sulphate (Cuso4) exposed freshwater fish Notopterus notopterus has been studied. The following observation is made in both control and copper sulphate (Cuso4) exposed fish. The ovary contain large amount of DNA in comparison to other tissues. The degree of DNA content in control and copper sulphate (Cuso4) exposed fish ovary >liver>ain>kidney. The RNA content also exhibited similar to that of DNA, having higher amount in the ovary. The degree of RNA content in control and copper sulphate (Cuso4) exposed fish ovary >liver>ain>kidney. The nucleic acid content of tissues get reduced under copper sulphate (Cuso4) exposed in the female freshwater fish Notopterus notopterus indicating copper sulphate as a pollutant effect the nucleic acid content in the tissue.
