Abstract
Theeffectsofcarbamateherbicide,Saturn,onthehealthstatusofCommon carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Were studied.The LC50of Saturn herbicide was9.4ppm/48 hours.Fishexposedtodifferentconcentrations of Saturn(1/2and1/10LC50)for different periods of 7days and6weeks, respecti-vely;showed nervous and respiratorydisordersmanifestedbysurfacing,gasping,rapidopercularmovementsandabnormalswimmingbehaviour.
The biochemical functions of the liver; showed significant increase in aspartate aminotransferase (AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities allover the experimental period.
Histopathological investigations revealed different pathological tissue alterations in both liver and  kidneys.
The residual analysis of Saturn in flesh and liver revealed presence of suchherbicide in these tissues in different values dependingontheused concentration and time of exposure.
