| Abstract | The present paper deals with the piscicidal activity of different solvent extracts of Euphorbia royleana stem bark against freshwater predatory fish Channa punctatus, which is commonly present in shrimp and carp culture ponds. The rank of order of toxicity of different solvent extract was: diethyl ether (LC(50) (96h) 31.76mg DW/L) > chloroform (LC(50) (96h) 56.26mg DW/L) > methanol (LC(50) (96h) 56.80mg DW/L) > acetone (LC(50) (96h) 65.77mg DW/L). There was a significant (P < 0.05) negative correlation between LC values and exposure periods, thus increase in exposure time. The LC(50) values of diethyl ether extract of E. royleana stem bark decrease from 81.78mg DW/L (24h) to 31.76mg DW/L (96h). Similar trend were also observed in case of chloroform, methanol and acetone extracts. Exposure of sub-lethal doses (40% and 80% of LC(50)) of the diethyl ether extract for 24h or 96h caused significant inhibition in the activity of enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in liver and muscle tissue of fish C. punctatus. There was a significant recovery observed in the activity of enzyme acetylcholinesterase in both the tissues of fish after 7th day of the withdrawal of treatment. Thus, the diethyl ether extract of E. royleana stem bark can be used for control of unwanted predatory fish C. punctatus from fish culture ponds. Their toxicological action is due to their anti-acetylcholinesterase enzyme activity, reversibility in their action is advantageous factor for their use as environmentally safe piscicide in aquatic bodies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
