Abstract: Cirrhinus mrigala is an important edible freshwater fish. The amount of biochemical constituents such as protein, lipid and glycogen in fishes is used for the determination of their nutritive value of the fish. The fresh water fish Cirrhinus mrigala when exposed to the sublethal concentration (79.90 ppm) of plant toxin from Lasiosiphon eriocephalus, significant decrease in total protein, lipid and glycogen content of liver, muscle and kidney was observed after 96 hrs of exposure period. Maximum decrease in the amout of calories was recorded as 16.92%, 16.96% and 13.14% respectively in liver, muscle and kidney of the fish Cirrhinus mrigala. The results were discussed on the basis of metabolism in the fish. Keywords – Fish, Nutritive Value, Phytotoxin
