Abstract

Rohu (Labeo rohita) is a fish of the carp family Cyprinidae, found commonly in rivers and fresh water lakes in and around South Asia and South - East Asia. The freshwater fish Labeo rohita were exposed to Mercury chloride (0.25 ppm) for 10, 20 and 30 days and its effect on blood – bio chemical properties in the form of hyperglycemia, hypoproteinemia and hypercholesteromia. The results of the present study that the blood – biochemical changes may lead to the fish morbidity and mortality.
