To meet the increasing food demands, several types of pesticides are used for controlling various types of agricultural pests. As such many useful non-target organisms also have the toxic effect of pesticide. Most of the pesticides interfere with the enzyme action and produce many physiological and biochemical changes in the bodies of non-target organisms. Gastropods exposed to toxicants for even a short span of time may produce considerable destruction of the internal organs especially their enzymatic architecture. The present investigation was therefore, undertaken to study the alterations produced in the digestive enzymes amylase and invertase in the gastropod, Laevicaulis alte after treatment of endosulfan
