Combined action of carbaryl and phenthoate on the sensitivity of the acetylcholinesterase system of the fish, Channa punctatus (Bloch).
Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and accumulation of acetylcholine were observed in tissues of fish, Channa punctatus, during carbaryl and/or phenthoate toxicity. Carbaryl in combination with phenthoate exerted synergism on the AChE system during their interaction.
