Summary

Starvation resulted in a regular and continuous decrease in the serum acid phosphatase levels of the freshwater catfishClarias batrachus. The levels were found to be inversely proportional to the length of starvation. A maximal loss of 80.6% was noted at the end of the 5th month of starvation.
