Abstract
Enzyme is an organic catalyst which induces biological reactions. The concept of biocatalyst is a major source of enzymes used common in animal cells. Succinate dehydrogenase is the oxidative enzyme it acts as a marker enzyme for detecting the presence of TCA cycle in tissues. It was aimed to assess the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase activities in gill, liver, kidney, brain and muscle of Zebrafish exposed to sublethal concentration of zinc. The 96 hour LC50 values for the period of 10, 20 and 30 days exposed to zinc showed a declined level of enzyme succinate dehydrogenase activities for 10, 20 and 30 days in the selected tissues. There is no information concerning the three different sublethal concentrations on the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase of Zebrafish. Hence, it was programmed to observe the effect of zinc on succinate dehydrogenase activities in gill, liver and kidney, brain and muscle of Zebrafish.
