INFLUENCED OF CYPERMETHRIN ON DNA, RNA AND RNA/DNA RATIO IN GILLS OF THE FRESHWATER FISH CHANNA STRIATA

In the present study the impact of subletal concentration of cypermethrin exposed to fresh water fish. The DNA, RNA and RNA/DNA ratio were estimated in gill of freshwater fish Channa striata. The sublethal concentration of cypermethrin (0.00078 μl/lit) for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of different time intervals. The concentration of cypermethrin showed reduce level of DNA as 6.79, 15.77, 15.66, 15.36 in experimental and 15.20, 14.11, 12.16, 10.16 respectively for experimenntal RNA at different exposure period. Whereas the RNA/DNA ratio observed changed (2.23, 2.48, 2.27, 1.97) respectively at different exposure period as compares to control group.
