Abstract

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect acute toxic of cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroids on juveniles of Clarias gariepinus. The effect was assessed based on the comparism results of biochemical examinations(Aspartate and alanine transaminase enzymes, glucose, cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase,total glyceride and total protein)in the blood and organs of control and experimental group exposed to five nominal concentration of cypavest, 10EC Pesticide Preparation (active substance 100mg/l) of cypermethrin in a static non- renewal bioassay for 96hours. Fish exhibited progressive loss of balance, respiratory distress, erratic movement and death. Biochemical evaluation showed significant higher values (P < 0.001, 0.01) for Alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and Total Protein Aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) and glucose showed a significant reduction (P < 0.001) with no significant difference (P > 0.05) in Alkaline phosphatase as compared to the control. thus concluding that cypermethrin is toxic to juveniles of Clarias gariepinus
