Abstract

The locomotor and chemo-receptive behaviour of fish were determined by quantifying their movements
in a laboratory behavioural trough. The effect of chlorides of zinc, cadmium and mercury on
the olfactory responses of fish, Cyprimis carpio communis (Linn.) was studied by infusing the food extract
into sixth influent cell of behavioural trou^. Exposure of fish for 14 days to these metal chlorides at
0.5 ppm concentration, rendered the chemo-receptors less responsive to the experimental stimulus.
