Abstract :

The physico chemical parameters (pH, EC, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, Chromium, Copper and Zinc) of 100% untreated textile effluents and its effects on the biochemical constituents present in the gills, liver and muscle of Tilapia mossambica were studied. The results of analysis of physic chemical parameters of 100% untreated textile effluents revealed that the parameters such as pH, EC, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS were found to be higher than the permissible limits of CPCB (1995) thereby indicating the high pollution potential of the effluent. The biochemical estimation depletion was followed by carbohydrates and protein in all the three organs (ie) gills, liver and muscle in the decreasing trend exposed to untreated textile effluents and gills were most affected compared to liver and muscle.
