Abstract

Acetylcholinesterase activity decreased in muscle, gill, liver and brain tissues
of T. mossambica with a corresponding increase in acetylcholine content following
methyl parathion exposure, suggesting a disruption in the nerve impulse conduction.
The electrophoretic study of esterases in the various tissues of Tilapia mossambica
suggests that there are about six anodally migrating bands and there is an
inhibition of esterase bands in muscle, gill, liver and brain tissues during subacute
methyl parathion impact and it is found to be tissue specific
