Abstract

The effect of different sublethal concentrations of dairy effluent (8, 16 & 24%) on the biochemi­cal constituents of the tadpole, B. bufo were studied. The glycogen and protein content of effluent treated tadpoles were reduced to a significant level while the lipid content showed a reverse (P < 0.001).
