Abstract
The present study was under taken to assess
safety and efficacy of Cu on fingerlings of Channa Punctatus.
Fingerlings of an average weight (10-15 gm) and average length 6-8 cm. were
selected from the stock and kept for laboratory condition in aquarium of size
60x30x30 cm with 30 L. capacity for one month. After acclimatization Channa
Punctatus fish (n=10) were exposed to Cu concentration for 10,20 and 30
days. Fingerlings in each group contains six were given graded doses of Cu (0.2,0.4
and 0.6 ppm). First group received normal water (Tap water) as a control. The
fingerlings were then maintained and observed daily for 10,20 and 30days for
