| description |
Present study deals with the investigation of toxic effects of Mercury and zinc and the role of zinc in the simultaneous treatment of mercury and zinc, in the intestine of a catfish H. fossilis. Biochemical studies had shown decrease in glucose and protein level and increase in alkaline phosphatase due to Hg (0.0l mg/l) treatment for 30 days. When treated with Hg and Zn simultaneously, values for all these parameters were comparable to that of control group, suggesting protective role of Zn against Hg toxicity.
