EFFECT OF ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDE, DIELDRIN ON BIOCHEMICAL PROFILE OF COMMON CARP Cyprinus carpio L.

Dieldrin is an organochlorine pesticide that is extensively used in Maharashtra, as a broad-spectrum insecticide on a variety of crops including rice and groundnut. It's a soil and systemic insecticide and miticide that's used to get rid of sucking and chewing insects, mites, and other pests that live in the soil. Dieldrin's impact on total carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids was studied in the gills, liver, and brain of Cyprinus carpio after a 21-day sub-lethal toxicity exposure. The sub-lethal dosage was calculated to be 0.23g/L. At the end of 21 days, the organs of exposed and control fish were removed and utilised to calculate total carbohydrates, total proteins, and total lipids. In all of the calculated parameters of the 21-day exposure, there was a significant difference between the control and exposed groups in all of the organs. Total carbohydrates, total proteins, and total lipids all reduced as the days of sub-lethal exposure increased in the current research, up to the conclusion of 21 days of exposure. Biochemical parameters are significant indicators in assessing the degree of toxicity induced by dieldrin in this research.
