dc.description.abstractThe present study was performed to determine the toxic effects of endosulfan on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of acid and alkaline phosphatases (ACP and ALP) in Macrobrachium malcolmsonii. Intermoult juvenile prawns were exposed to 32.0 ng/l of endosulfan for a period of 21 days. Samples were taken from the hemolymph, hepatopancreas, gills and muscle of test prawns on the 21st day. The content of ACP and ALP in the hepatopancreas of test prawns were found to be higher in comparison to respective controls. The levels of these enzymes in the hemolymph, gills and muscle of test prawns were found to be lower than in the same tissues of controls. In non-denaturing PAGE, phosphatases appeared as white bands. The intensity of white bands in the hepatopancreas of test prawns were found to be higher when compared to controls. In the hemolymph, gills and muscle of test prawns, the intensity of white bands were found to be lower in comparison to controls. The results of the present study suggest that endosulfan affects the quantity and quality of ACP and ALP in the tissues of M. malcolmsonii.en_US
