Effect of fertilizer diammonium phosphate on liver, kidney and muscle 5'-nucleotidase activity of fresh water teleost fish Clarias batrachus.
The toxic effect of fertilizer Diammonium phosphate resulted in alterations of 5'-Nucleotidase activity of tissues--liver, kidney and muscles of fish C. batrachus at varying intervals and exposures. Alterations in 5'-Nucleotidase activity of body organs gave an idea of the toxicity caused by the fertilizer. Thus the enzyme 5'-Nucleotidase can be used to monitor the pollution in aquatic ecosystem.
