Determination of Median Lethal Concentrations (LC50) of Carbosulfan to Freshwater Fish Labeo rohita (Hamilton) and Its Behavioural Impacts
In the present study, Labeo rohita were exposed to carbosulfan for 96 h. Experimental fishes which measured an average length of 6±7 cm and weighed 6.5±7.5g. Nine groups with three replicates of experimental fish were exposed to seven concentrations of carbosulfan. The containers used for the test m...
