Abstract
The effects of thiotox (T), dichlorvos (D), carbofuran (C) and their three combinations C/T (highly antagonistic), T/D (Additive) and (T+D)/C (highly synergistic) on the activities of acid, alkaline and glucose-6-phosphatases in the serum of Mystus vittatus have been determined after 30 days exposure. The three subacute concentrations selected were 1/5th, 1/10th, and 1/15th fractions of 96 hr LC50 values of these pesticides and combinations. In general, the elevation in three phosphatases was observed except at a few places where inhibition was observed at 1/15th fraction. Elevation in alkaline phosphatase was more than acid and glucose-6-phosphatases.
