EFFECT OF ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDE, DIELDRIN ON BIOCHEMICAL PROFILE OF COMMON CARP Cyprinus carpio L. | UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY
Dieldrin is an organochlorine pesticide widely used as a broad-spectrum insecticide on a variety of crops in Maharashtra, including rice and groundnut. It's a soil and systemic insecticide and miticide that's used to kill sucking and chewing insects, mites, and other soil pests. After a 21-day sub-lethal toxicity exposure, the effects of dieldrin on total carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the gills, liver, and brain of Cyprinus carpio were investigated. 0.23g/L was determined to be the sub-lethal dose. The organs of exposed and control fish were removed at the conclusion of the 21-day period and used to compute total carbs, total proteins, and total lipids. There was a significant difference between the control and exposed groups in all of the estimated parameters of the 21-day exposure in all of the organs. In the current study, total carbs, total proteins, and total lipids all decreased as the number of days of sub-lethal exposure rose, up to the end of 21 days of exposure. In this study, biochemical markers are important indications for determining the degree of toxicity caused by dieldrin.
