Abstract

The healthy functioning of the biosphere in our planet, the life depends entirely on the water flow and steady state phenomenon. Lethal concentration of Nuvan calculated for the fresh water snake headed fish Channa punctatus 0.27ml/L after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. For the chronic study 1/10th Nuvan concentration (0.027ml/L) provided to observe fish. Blood serum cholesterol (Chol.) and triglycerides (TG) estimated after chronic toxic stress of Nuvan to fish Channa punctatus. Fish serum TG revealed significant decrease level while  Cholesterol showed significant elevated level after 7, 14, 21, and 28days at different level  p > 0.05,  p <0.01 and p <0.001 in fresh water fish Channa punctatus.
