Effect of copper contaminated food on the growth (biomass) ofChanna gachua (Ham.)

  • Published:

Abstract

Preliminary observations were made on the effect of copper intoxicated food on the growth (biomass) ofChanna gachua (Ham.). Ingestion of copper contaminatedLebistes reticulatus (Peter) as food byChanna gachua for 30 days had reflected in reduction of biomass with no histopathological changes in the gills or intestine.
