Influence of insecticidal derivative (cartap hydrochloride) from the marine polycheate on certain enzyme systems of the fresh water fish Oreochromis mossambicus. Journal of Environmental Biology. 2005 Apr; 26(2): 191-5http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/113773The activities of phosphatases and transaminases were studied in muscle and liver of the fresh water fish, Oreochromis mossambicus on exposure to different sublethal concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mgl(-1)) of cartap hydrochloride (insecticidal derivative from marine polycheate) for 96 h. There was an overall decrease in phosphatases and transaminases activity in muscle and liver of the fish subjected to cartap hydrochloride.engAcid Phosphatase --metabolismAlanine Transaminase --antagonists & inhibitorsAlkaline Phosphatase --metabolismAnimalsAspartate Aminotransferases --antagonists & inhibitorsLiver --drug effectsMuscles --drug effectsPolychaeta --chemistryThiocarbamates --toxicityTilapia --metabolismComparative Study
