The indigenous freshwater fish Rasbora daniconius was used for the present experiment to validate the toxic effect of Imidacloprid insecticide When subjected to increasing concentration of imidacloprid (Nicotine insecticide) acute exposure to different doses of lethal concentrations respectively i.e. 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 72 hrs and 96 hrs with imidacloprid at 5.6 mg, 4.5 mg, 2.9 mg and 1.8 mg respectively. A decrease in the glycogen level was observed in gill tissue of test fish, it shows the possible effect of insecticidal toxicity. As the fish, Rasbora daniconius is largely consumed by people, it is necessary to know the toxic effect of imidacloprid on biochemical changes in gill tissue.
