Abstract
Sexually maturing riverine cat fish Rita rita were treated with sub-lethal levels of phenol and sulphide for 30 days to identify their effects on the gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HSI), cholesterol levels in the ovary and liver, and plasma 17 β-estradiol levels. Both the contaminants significantly decreased the GSI, size of the oocytes and the plasma 17 β-estradiol levels. Whereas a significant increase in the HSI and the cholesterol levels of the ovary and liver was evident. The increase in the levels of ovarian and hepatic cholesterol and the decrease in plasma 17 β- estradiol and GSI indicate impaired steroidogenesis and ovarian maturation in the exposed fish.
