The present investigation was planned to quantify plasma protein analytes in Indian major carps from lakes of Ajmer city, Rajasthan. Experimental material incorporated Indian major carps i.e. Rohu (Labeo rohita) and Catla (Catla catla). A total of 240 fish were incorporated in the study. Out of this, 120 fish type were Labeo rohita (Lr) and 120 fish type were Catla (Cc). To evaluate the impact of pesticides and their possible damage to aquatic life, water samples and fish were collected from two reservoirs (lakes) of Ajmer city, Rajasthan namely Ana Sagar lake, Ajmer, Rajasthan and Foy Sagar lake, Ajmer, Rajasthan. At each collection site, Catla catla fish revealed lower plasma biochemical contents than Labeo rohita fish. This exhibited that Catla catla fish built up greater degree of stress than Labeo rohita fish. In both the category of fish, females revealed lower contents of plasma biochemical than males. This pointed up that females of both the type of fish had developed higher scale of stress. Furthermore, it was found that low-weight male and female fish had larger amount of stress than high-weight male and female fish. Plasma biochemical were significantly (p?0.05) lower in low-weight fish than high-weight fish.
