Maximum rise above normal followed by resumpti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> normal values is found to be highest in E10 in gills. Similar picture is shown by liver being maximum in E20 followed by E10 <strong>and</strong> E30.In g<strong>on</strong>ads ,maximum rise above normal in first 48 hours, is shown in E30 followed by E20 <strong>and</strong> E10. This result is in agreement with the significant increase in ACP in kidney <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the catfish, Heterpneustes fossilis after intoxicati<strong>on</strong> with cadmium (Sastry <strong>and</strong> Subhadra, 1985). Similar increase <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> plasma <strong>and</strong> liver <strong>acid</strong> phosphatase has been reported in the teleosts, Bryc<strong>on</strong> cephalus (matrinxã) following exposure to methyl parathi<strong>on</strong>. The increase was associated either with the decrease in stability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> liver lysosome membrane or with liver damage (Moraes et al., 1998). The enzyme ACP is known to be associated with lyososomal activity. The authors agree with Gill et al., 1992 that the <strong>acid</strong> phosphatase elevati<strong>on</strong> reflects proliferati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> lysosomes in attempt to sequester the toxic xenobiotic. The present author agrees with Neskovic et al., 1993 <strong>and</strong> Adham et al., 1997 that <strong>alkaline</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>acid</strong> phosphatases prove to be quite sensitive in assessing sublethal water intoxicosis in fish . The present data reveal that the different c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> coke oven <str<strong>on</strong>g>effluent</str<strong>on</strong>g> i.e. 10%, 20% <strong>and</strong> 30% alter the <strong>acid</strong>ic <strong>and</strong> <strong>alkaline</strong> phosphatase activity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Cyprinus carpio in different organs. Hence, the results from present investigati<strong>on</strong>s may be useful in the assessment <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> envir<strong>on</strong>mental stress in the aquatic ecosystem so that attempts could be made to reduce the chemical compounds <strong>and</strong> heavy metals in freshwater ecosystem by pretreatment before discharging in to the aquatic ecosystem.
