Nucleic Acid Content in Male Fresh Water Fish <i>N.</i> <i>notopterus</i> Exposed to Copper Sulphate
2015
Ravikiran, K. | Kulkarni, R.S.
The nucleic acid content in different tissues such as brain, liver, kidney & testis of both control and copper sulphate (CuSO<sub>4</sub>) exposed freshwater fish N. notopterus has been studied. The following observation is made in both control and copper sulphate (CuSO<sub>4</sub>) exposed fish. The testis contain large amount of DNA in comparison to other tissues. The degree of DNA content in control and copper sulphate (CuSO<sub>4</sub>) exposed fish testis >liver>brain>kidney. The RNA content also exhibited similar to that of DNA, having higher amount in the testis. The degree of RNA content in control and copper sulphate (Cuso4) exposed fish testis >liver>brain>kidney. The nucleic acid content of tissues get reduced under copper sulphate (CuSO<sub>4</sub>) exposed in the male freshwater fish N. notopterus indicating copper sulphate as a pollutant effect the nucleic acid content in the tissue.
