Exploring the Impact of Naphthalene (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) on Anabas testudineus (Bloch) through Dose-Specific Bioenzymological Analysis
Sukhendu Dey
Abstract:This study addresses the increasing concern about naphthalene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), highlighting its growing threats to the environment and aquatic life. The research examines its impact on Anabas testudineus (Bloch) through a detailed dose-specific bioenzymological analysis. Experimental fish groups were exposed to T1 (0.71 mg/L) and T2 (1.42 mg/L) naphthalene concentrations, representing 25 and 50% of the LC 50 value, respectively, over a 1−21 day period. Following the experiment, water s… Show more
