Distribution Pattern of LDH & MDH Isozymes in Some Indian Major Carps

This book is a preliminary attempt to find the correlation between the East Calcutta wetland (ECW) & non East Calcutta Wetland (NCW) site water parameters which however create any threat to aquatic organisms or not. For this the authors compared the distribution patterns of two enzymes, Lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] and Malate dehydrogenase [MDH] in aerobic tissues from three important major carps Labeo rohita, Catla catla and Cirrhinus mrigala collected from two different sites of West Bengal. Pollutants present in the water bodies and sediments of East Calcutta Wetland (ECW) have not produced significant variations of LDH and MDH isozymes of five important tissues of three major carps except Cirrhinus mrigala. It is found that the water parameters of ECW site poses threat to all major carps studied and the effect is more on Mrigal than on other two carps
