Abstract

Freshwater fish Puntius ticto, exposed to lethal and two sublethal concentrations (5.012ppm; 2.506 ppm and
1.253ppm) of dimethoate for 96hr and 60 days respectively. Glycogen content was analyzed from different
tissues after exposure period. The significant decrease in the glycogen content was observed in gills, kidney and
brain; moderate decline in gonads, muscles and slight changes takes place in liver and intestine.
