  • Abstract: Oreochromis mossambicus (peters) a fresh water toleost was exposed to 1.5 ppm, 3.0 ppm and 5.0 ppm concentrations of water-accommodated fractions (WAF) of Bombay high crude oil for 21 days and different parameters like Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAST), Glutathione peroxidase (GPX), Glutathione reductase (GR), Hydroperoxides and Malondialdehyde (MDA) were estimated in liver, gill, heart, muscle and blood. A significant dose-dependent change was observed in liver, gill, heart and muscle tissues.
