摘要：Cypriuns carpio was employed to assess the behavioral and morphological changes when exposed to
dyeing industry effluent. The 96h LC50 range of dyeing industry effluent was and two sub lethal concentrations
(6.875% and 6.25%) were selected. The various behavioral responses like erratic movements, gulping air on the surface
or jumping out of water, opercular movements, loss of equilibrium, hitting against the wall, restlessness, sluggishness,
fishes lied on the water surface before death and morphological changes like loosening of scales, redness in eyes,
profuse mucous secretion, bleeding from gills, ballooning and belly upward, pigmented patches on the abdomen were
observed. These responses and changes were more at higher concentration (6.875%) and duration of time (72h) as
compared to other concentrations and time durations. Even lower concentrations can also exert changes in behaviour
and morphology and cannot be ignored. Control fishes were also monitored to record the normal behaviour.
