The current study investigates the effects of lead acetate exposure on catalase activity in Cyprinus carpio (carp). Lead acetate is a prevalent industrial pollutant that poses significant ecological risks, especially in regions like the Shyam Ghunghutta Dam in Sarguja district, Chhattisgarh, where industrial activities are nearby (Suresh et al., 2012; Nwani et al., 2015). Catalase plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular redox balance by neutralizing hydrogen peroxide, a process that can be disrupted by lead acetate exposure (Mishra et al., 2017; Siddiqui and Alhomida, 2018). The study’s findings reveal a notable cure-dependent drop in catalase exertion in complaint exposed to lead acetate, indicating heightened oxidative stress in these fish. These results emphasize the significance of understanding the impact of adulterants on brackish ecosystems, as they're vital for assessing submarine environmental health and developing effective conservation strategies.
