In vivo acute physiological stress induced by BHC on hemolymph biochemistry of Oziotelphusa senex senex, the Indian rice field crab.
Indian rice field crabs, exposed to a lethal concentration (LC50/24 h = 39 mg/l) of benzene hexachloride (BHC) to study acute toxic effects, showed changes in hemolymph glucose and protein. The effect of BHC resulted in hyperglycemia and hyperproteinemia.
