Toxicity of copper on lipid of kidney of freshwater fish Labeo rohita was studied in laboratory; the animals were exposed to median lethal concentration (96 hrs. LC50/2) for treatment. The active acclimatized medium sized fishes were exposed for experiment, used as LC50 of 96 hours. Copper sulphate, 0.28 ppm. The fishes were divided into eight groups the first group was maintained as a control and each of the remaining was exposed to sub lethal concentration of copper sulphate. After 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours treatment the control and experimental fishes were sacrificed to analyze biochemical composition. The kidney was taken and weighed; it dried at 80oCfor 48 hours and use to estimate lipid content. The lipid content of kidney was found to be decreased after acute treatment by copper sulphate. Thelipid content ofkidney compared with control wasdecreased from 02.80% in copper sulphate treated animals after acute exposure of 96 hrs.
