Worldwide extensive use of agrochemicals in agricultural production poses potential ecotoxicological effects and disturbs aquatic biota, more specially fish. This study aims to evaluate comparative effects of selected agrochemicals such as profenofos, endosulfan and deltamethrin on biochemical, endocrine and genetic profiles of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Forty healthy carp (50 ± 7.45g and 15 ± 5.86 cm) were selected randomly and equally divided into four groups; control group labeled as E0 and three treated groups having 4 ppb of profenofos, deltamethrin and endosulfan, labeled as E1, E2, E3 respectively. Fish were exposed to chemicals for 96 h. Obtained results revealed that, significant changes were observed in biochemical parameters of treated groups in comparison with control group (P deltamethrin > profenofos. The obtained results provide solid evidence that unobservant use of such agrochemical causes a pernicious effect on nontarget organisms such as fish. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers
