Abstract: The Present study is an attempt to determine the nature of nervous control of the colour change mechanism in the fresh water teleost ophiocephalus gachua the effect of pharmacological agents on the melanophores of fresh water teleost ophiocephores gachua.
A Pharmacological study has been made on the melanophores of the teleost fish ophioclphone gachua. The findings of study indicates that there is not to be a cholinergic pigment dispersing mechanism in this species it also indicates that the melanophore of this species are under adrenergic control and that alpha adrenorecepters are involved in pigment concentration.
Keywords: Melanophore, Colour change, Adrenergic.
