ABSTRACT
Man with extraordinary intellectual capability conquered the age; old traditional world by establishing modern technological world to cater the needs of all the human beings. As the most intelligent man acquired supremacy and mastery over each and every object on the earth and mode them to keep under his control. He has been totally transformed an arboreal barbarian to a highly polished and sophisticated civilian by exploiting the innovative applications in the field of science and technology for the wellbeing of the total community to satisfy its basic needs like shelter, fabrics and food. Respiration is a proces during which the organisms obtain oxygen from external medium and use it for the purpose of energy release during oxidative metabolism. As such the process of respiration in animals is studied by determining the oxygen consumption. The total oxygen consumption of the animal reflcts the basal metabolic status which reflects the general effect of several intrinsic and extrinsic environmental stresses. This serves not only as a tool in evaluating the susceptibility or resistance potentiality of animal, but also useful to correlate the behaviour of the animal. Present work elaborates the comparative study. The effect of two pesticides, Endosulfan and Dimethoate on Total oxygen consumption and Rate of Oxygen consumption of fresh water Female crab Barytelphusa guerini. This paper presented data graphically as well as statistically.
