title: Combined action of carbaryl and phenthoate on the sensitivity of the acetylcholinesterase system of the fish, Channa punctatus (Bloch).
abstract: 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.
