Abstract
Two different weight groups of farmed Labeo rohita were collected from fish hatchery, Satiana Road Faisalabad, Pakistan. Pesticide residues were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HPLC analysis showed that seven pesticide residues (α-endosulfan, DDE, parathion methyl, isoproturon, atrazine, carbofuran, and deltamethrin) were detected in L. rohita in weight group W
