Paraquat Dichloride is a contact herbicide. After its application to the agriculture field, it may get drained off, drifted, leached or washed off into aquatic ecosystems causing aquatic toxicity. Present investigation was undertaken to evaluate alteration in glycogen content in the fingerlings of Indian Major Carp Cirrhinus mrigala. Highly significant (p<0.001) slump in glycogen content was observed due to the treatment of this herbicide.
