Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of Sago effluent on the activity of Acid phosphatase in the
liver tissue of the fresh water fish Clarias batrachus. The fish were exposed to control and different concentrations of
treated sago effluents. The concentrations chosen were 25%, 50% and 75% of treated sago effluent. The levels of the
enzyme acid phosphatase decreased significantly in the liver tissue of the experimental fish Clarias batrachus, when
compared with that of controls.
