Effect of Aluminum Toxicity on Plasma Electrolytes of a Fresh Water Teleost Fish, Cyprinus Carpio Var. Communis

R. Azhagu Senthil Radha

Abstract :

The present paper deals with the changes in plasma electrolytes levels ( Na*, K* & Cl¯ ) of fish Cyprinus Carpio when exposed to acute and sublethal concentrations of Aluminium sulphate. In acute treatments, sodium and potassium level decreased significantly during sublethal treatment, sodium and potassium level was gradually increased and chloride level was decreased. The probable reasons governing the facts are interpreted and discussed in the light of earlier literature.
