Abstract-: The impact of both short
term and longterm coke oven effluent released from the Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP)
has been studied on Clarias batrachus Linn.
(1758) with particular reference to A/Gratio and serum gamma globulin. The model ar.bial was given short term exposure in
30% of coke
oven effluent for five days and long
term exposure was given for six weeks in 0.5% effluent. The A/G ratio and gamma
globulin were determined in serum by standard methods. Experimental findings
depicted augmentation in A/G ratio and gamma globulin as a result of short term
exposure, whereas long term exposure
resulted in significantly high A/G ratio. Significant effect of
time and group was confirmed in the gamma globulin concentration. This study
reveals negative impact of coke oven effluent, released from the BSP. on local fauna.
