✦ Synopsis
Adaptive changes in the levels of carbohydrate metabolites, glucose, glycogen and lactic acid, were studied in a freshwater edible Ðsh, Sarotherodon mossambicus exposed to a carbamate fungicide, ziram. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that the Ðsh showed (i) adaptive utilization of stored glycogen, particularly in liver tissue ; (ii) adaptive accumulation of glycogen in muscle and heart tissues, probably by glyconeogenesis and (iii) adaptive mechanism of operation of "diving syndromeÏ, to meet the stress of the pollutant under sub-lethal exposure.
