The long-term effect of endosulfan on the carbohydrate metabolites of the fish Anabas scandens was studied. Exposure of fish to a sublethal concentration of 6 ppb, for a period of 21 days resulted in marked changes in total carbohydrate, glycogen, lactic acid, and pyruvic acid content of the tissues. Lactate levels were found to be elevated, whereas pyruvate and glycogen content of the tissues declined. The results indicate that exposure of fish to endosulfan leads to metabolic adaptations to suit the functional need of the animal.
