Abstract
Northern region of Niger state. Studies were carried out using chronic toxicity bioassay to
determine the effect of sub- lethal concentrations of 2, 3-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate
(DDVP) on Oreochromis niloticus (Trewavas, 1983) under laboratory conditions.
Experimental fish were exposed to test water separately diluted with sub lethal concentrations
of DDVP of 0.00, 0.12, 0.15, 0.19 and 0.25mg/L. A 28 day exposure to sub lethal
concentrations of the toxicant resulted in changes in biochemical parameters of the fish on the
exposure days (1, 14 and 28). Biochemical parameters such as total protein, albumin,
globulin and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) decreased significantly (p
