  • Descrição: The amelioration effect of balanced diet with supplementation of vitamin C against stress was evaluated in freshwater paddy field fish, Clarias batrachus, exposed to organophosphate insecticide, monocrotophos (MCP). Three groups of fishes, that is, (E₀) Control, (E₁) MCP (2.14 mg L⁻¹) exposure and E₂) Vitamin C, MCP (0.2 g kg⁻¹ body weight + 2.144 mg L⁻¹) were selected for the sublethal study. The effect of MCP on protein metabolism in physiological sensitive tissues, namely gills, kidney, liver and muscle of the fish has been determined. Stress on Clarias batrachus was evident that the total protein, amino acid and ammonia contents were decreased, and urea and glutamine levels were elevated in all tissues for 30 days. Similarly, the activities of protease, aminotransferases and phosphatases were elevated significantly in all the tissues during the same period. Fish fed with a diet supplemented by vitamin C (0.2 g kg⁻¹ body weight) could significantly counter these effects.
