Abstract
Malachite green (Basic Dye) is more used in dyeing and aquaculture industries is reported as toxicant. MG is acutely toxic to wide range of aquatic and terrestrial animals. It is environmentally persistent and causes serious health hazards. At very low concentration of malachite green showed changes in biochemical profile of Parresia corrugate. By examining the biochemical profile against control in tissues like gill and hepatopancreas, the effects of 0.2 ppm and 0.8 ppm concentrations were evaluated. There was highly significant (p <0.01) in both the protein and lipid content in tissues at 0.8 ppm concentration of malachite green. At 0.2 ppm concentration, Protein content was moderately depleted (p<0.1) in both the tissues after exposure to 96 hours.
