title: The effect of copper sulphate on some biochemical parameters of rainbow trout.
abstract: Copper sulphate has an adverse effect on some biochemical parameters of trout Salmo gairdneri. The main targets of damage are: (a)Tissue necrosis as demonstrated by increased ASAT and ALAT levels in blood plasma. (b)Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity. There is also a general stress effect as reflected by an elevated blood glucose level.
