Abstract

The toxic impact of parathion on bagrid catfish (Pseudobagrus fulvidraco) juvenile was examined 96 hr $LC_{50}$ value of parathion estimated as 1 90 mg/L. Chronically, bagrid catfish were exposed for 30 days to concentrations of parathion, i.e. 63, 95, 190 and $380\;{\mu}g/L$, representing 3.3, 5.0, 10.0 and $20.0{\%}$ of the 96 hr $LC_{50}$. Survival rate was significantly affected by the concentration over $63\;{\mu}g/L$ after 10 days. Growth rate, specific growth rate (SGR) and feed efficiency were reduced in time as concentration dependent manner. Growth rates of the exposed groups were significantly reduced as $28.06-60.63{\%}$ to the control fish, SGR was decresed as $1.50-4.72{\%}$ and feed efficiency was declined as $6.10-11.90{\%}$. It can be concluded that if p. lulvidraco is chronically exposed to parathion over $63\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration, the physiological damages might affect growth factors of the fish.
