Heavy metals of acetate salts of lead, zinc, copper and mercury cause serious toxic effects on protein biosynthesis. These metal salts reduce the plasma protein content. A dose-response relationship is found to occur in this blood parameter in the experimental fish in comparison to the control group of fishes. Both groups are fed. Higher dose of those chemical agents are much responsive to cause harmful effects on fish plasma protein amount. All the heavy metals toxicity except zinc toxicity are shown to be continued (reduced) upto day 42 but the decrease in the said parameter is more marked with zinc salt on day 7 only. The present investigation is an attempt to evaluate the relationship of this haematological parameter with the physiological status among the heavy metal polluted fishes during chronic treatment.

Higher dose of those chemical agents are much responsive to cause harmful effects on fish plasma protein amount. All the heavy metals toxicity except zinc toxicity are shown to be continued (reduced) upto day 42 but the decrease in the said parameter is more marked with zinc salt on day 7 only. The present investigation is an attempt to evaluate the relationship of this haematological parameter with the physiological status among the heavy metal polluted fishes during chronic treatment.},

These metal salts reduce the plasma protein content. A dose-response relationship is found to occur in this blood parameter in the experimental fish in comparison to the control group of fishes. Both groups are fed. Higher dose of those chemical agents are much responsive to cause harmful effects on fish plasma protein amount. All the heavy metals toxicity except zinc toxicity are shown to be continued (reduced) upto day 42 but the decrease in the said parameter is more marked with zinc salt on day 7 only. The present investigation is an attempt to evaluate the relationship of this haematological parameter with the physiological status among the heavy metal polluted fishes during chronic treatment.
