Abstract:
Zinc is an essential trace element for all living organisms. It causes significant and detrimental effects on fish behaviour and physiology. There are various sources by which zinc enters the water and cause hazardous effect on increasing concentration beyond limit. In the present study, we estimatedZnCl2 LC-50 for 96 hours which was 42.50 mg/L. Over the period of toxicological exposure of ZnCl2 LC-50 for 96 hours we observed some behavioral changes in Ophiocephalus punctatus that include shedding of scales, aggregation at one side due to fearing and redness of caudal peduncle. These behavioral changes in Ophiocephalus punctatus could be due to response to excess amount of Zn than that needed for biological functions.
