Genomic & biochemical changes in fishes due to pesticide pollution

Abstract

The objective of the present review paper is to study the various effects of pesticide pollution on freshwater fishes like Labeorohita and conclude about what to do as solution. Pesticides are used extensively in crop fields in present days. The focus of the following paper is the changes occurring at genomic and biochemical level in fishes. Usually, biochemical changes are observed in total protein content and/or total carbohydrate content.Lipids are also affected due to pesticide pollution. Genomic changes are nominal, although nucleic acids of two types, namely DNA and RNA, are affected in large scale.
