However, indiscriminate use of these pesticides for crop protection causes much damage to the non-target animals. The aquatic organisms particularly fish becomes highly sensitive, as water gets contaminated by toxic chemicals, some pesticides are not easily degraded in water and fishes are known to be absorbing them through the skin in high quantities. They affect the growth, metabolism and on physical and physiological activities and ultimately on the survival of the fish. | | Keywords : | | |
