Effect of Deltamethrin on the Activities of the Alkaline and Acid Phosphatases in the Air Breathing Fish Clarias batrachus (Linn.)

Résumé

Intensive use of pyrethroids as a new class of agricultural insecticides to control agricultural pesticides crops has concomitantly increased the level of pesticides in aquatic ecosystems. It is against this backdrop that the present study was undertaken, which reflects the changes in the activities of alkaline and acidic phosphatases in the plasma, liver and kidney of the fish Clarias batrachus exposed to sub-lethal (0.145ppm) concentration of deltamethrin, a synthetic pyrethroids for a period of 35 days. A significant (P<0.05) increase, amounting to 92 %, in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, was observed in plasma of fish treated with sub-lethal doses of deltamethrin when compared to control group. However, due to exposure to deltamethrin, the activity of acid phosphatase (ACP) decreases significantly (P<0.05) in the liver and kidney. The result of the present study suggests that the tested concentrations of deltamethrin cause significant adverse effects on the enzymological parameters of air-breathing fish C. batrachus. The alterations of these parameters can be effectively used to monitor the impact of deltamethrin on aquatic ecosystems.
