Volume : II, Issue : XI, December - 2012 BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSES OF CLARIAS BATRACUS EXPOSED TO TOXAPHENE TOXICITY VINOD KUMAR YADAV Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Behavioral changes in a fr esh water cat fish clarias batracus was observed in
the laboratory under stress caused by different concentrations of an organochiorine
pesticide, T oxaphene. These behavioral changes are in response to the toxic
environment. After calculation ∟ C50 value of T oxaphene at different exposure periods,
et seems that C. batracus is more susceptible to toxaphene. Results show toxic effect of
toxaphene on C. batracus. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : VINOD KUMAR YADAV, (2012). BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSES OF CLARIAS BATRACUS EXPOSED TO TOXAPHENE TOXICITY.
