Abstract

The present study aims to investigate toxicological effects of heavy metal, lead on protein contents of some tissues such as kidney, liver, muscles and ovary of a freshwater teleost, Oreochromis mossambicus. After LC50 determination, fish was exposed to one-third of LC50 as sublethal concentration for 10 days, it showed remarkable changes in protein profiles of all these tissues. Diminution of total proteins in kidney, liver, muscles and ovary was significantly observed (p<0.05). Compared to those in controlled fish, depletion of total proteins was found to be 6.85 % in kidney, 27.40% in liver, 45.23% in muscles and 6.60% in the ovary of experimental fish. Results showed that toxicity of lead to fish tissues was in the order muscles>liver>kidney>ovary. These alterations can be related to toxicological stress caused by heavy metal, lead.
