Abstract

The present paper deals with the toxicity of tannery effluent on some blood biochemical parameters of a freshwater fish Cyprnus carpio when the fish was exposed to 10 and 25 % effluent concentrations. A significant increase in the level of glucose, protein and cholesterol was observed. Glucose and protein levels were maximum in 25 %, whereas cholesterol level was found to be high in 10 % effluent concentration
