- Abstract
The article studies pH-based conductivity on fishes in a contaminated environment by researchers from Chennai, India. As an indicator of environmental livability, fish seems to be very important since it is affected by the living habitat which is today polluted by effluents from industries, pesticides washed out from agricultural lands and detergents from household drainage. In the present study, the effects of the environmental pollutants on conductivity of fish muscle are investigated. Protein is rich in fish muscle, and protein is as an organic semiconductor.
