ABSTRACT
Toxic effects of sublethal concentration of dye stuff effluent on succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activities and tissue respiration were studied in C. carpio. While the sublethal exposure significantly reduced SDH activity and tissue respiration, LDH activity increased in gill, brain, liver, muscle and kidney. The maximum inhibition of SDH activity (74%) was recorded in gill and the minimum (38%) in liver. The percentage reduction of oxygen consumption in the tested tissues was in the order of gill greater than brain greater than liver greater than muscle greater than kidney. The muscle showed the highest level (96%) of increase in LDH activity whereas the kidney cells showed the minimum increase. Exposure to sublethal concentration suppressed the aerobic respiration and triggered the anaerobic respiration.
