Sodium Fluoride (NaF) Affects Concentration of Nucleic Acid (DNA) in Fresh Water Fishes Cirrhina mrigala and Labeo rohita

M. D. Kale

Abstract: Static bioassay for acute 96h and chronic 30 days were performed using sub-lethal 945 ppm (LC0) and lethal 960 ppm (LC50) concentration of Sodium Fluoride on the fresh water fishes C mrigala and L rohita. The behavior and mortality rate were recorded. After acute and chronic concentration of sodium fluoride exposed various fishes and collect the tissue like gill, muscle, liver, and kidney were subjected to biochemical (nucleic acid DNA and RNA) analysis. The result showed marked alternation in experimental fish due to toxicity of Sodium Fluoride compared with control group.
