Abstract

The toxicity of liquid detergent (dishwashing gel) to Catlacatla was studied with static bioassays during 2019. The 96 h LC50 of dishwashing gel was found out by the graphical method of Krouwer and Monti (1995). The value of 96 h LC50 for dishing gel was found to be 0.040ml/litre. During investigation the exposed fingerlings before death exhibits number of changes in behavior like nervousness, fast swimming, and imbalance, secretion of mucus, frantic movements and bleeding from operculum. This represents the adverse and highly toxic effects of detergents on the fingerlings.
