The present investigation deals with the effect of Methoxychlor on biochemical Profile of Cyprinus carpio. Methoxychlor is an organochlorine pesticide that is extensively used as a broad-spectrum insecticide on a variety of crops in India and Maharashtra. Methoxychlor creates serious threat to the environment as well as non-target organisms like aquatic and land dwelling animals. This pesticide may enter the water bodies via spray drift, run off, rains, soil leaching, sewage discharges and affect non-target organisms like fishes. Due to its lipophilic nature, it is persistent in environment and has tendency to bio accumulate in fish tissues. Methoxychlor's impact on total carbohydrates, proteins and lipids was studied in the gills, liver and brain of Cyprinus corpio after a 21-day sub-lethal toxicity exposure.
