Effects of Lambda Cyhalothrin on Protein and Albumin Content in the Kidney and Liver of Parpohiocephalus Obscurus

This study evaluated the effect of Lambda cyhalothrin on protein and Albumin content in the kidney and liver of Parpohiocephalus obscurus. The fish (with mean weight 42.20 ± 0.1g SD mean length 16.50 ± 0.12 cm SD) samples used for the study was purchased from private fish farm in Yenagoa metropolis and transported to the Department of Biological Sciences laboratory, Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. The fish samples were exposed to various concentrations of the toxicants (0.000, 0.012, 0.024 and 0.036 ppm) for 2 weeks. Thereafter, the kidney and liver of the fishes was obtained after dissecting. Both organs were processed and analyzed using standard metabolites methodology. The albumin and total protein showed significant variation (P < 0.05) at various concentration in most cases apart from albumin content in the liver. The study found that Lambda cyhalothrin elicit alteration in total protein and albumin in fisheries as such both parameters are useful indicator is determining toxicity in aquatic ecosystem.
