Effect of distillery waste on some freshwater teleosts—Biochemical studies

Abstract

The effect of distillery waste on the activities of alkaline and acid phosphatases in two teleost fishes, Ophiocephalus punctatus and Saccobranchus fossilis, is reported. The waste produced a significant fall in enzyme activity and this was more significant in liver than in kidney in both species. Further, the increase in exposure time decreased enzyme activity significantly.
