The analysis of data from the present investigation evidenced that sodium cyanide is toxic and had profound impact on behaviour and respiration in Labeo rohita in both sublethal concentrations. Thus it has led to the altered fish respiratory physiology. Variation in the oxygen consumption in sodium cyanide treated fish is probably due to impaired oxidative metabolism and sodium cyanide induced respiratory stress. Hence, dysfunction of behaviour and respiration can serve as index sodium cyanide toxicity.
