Abstract

Two different weight groups of farmed Labeo rohita were collected from fish hatchery, Satiana Road Faisalabad, Pakistan. Pesticide residues were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HPLC analysis showed that seven pesticide residues (α-endosulfan, DDE, parathion methyl, isoproturon, atrazine, carbofuran, and deltamethrin) were detected in L. rohita in weight group W 1Six pesticide residues (α-endosulfan, parathion methyl, isoproturon, atrazine, carbaryl, and carbofuran) were found in L. rohita weight group W 2. The overall comparison between two weight groups of L. rohita showed that maximal concentration of pesticide residues were observed in underweight group W 2 compared to W 1 weight group.
