AB  - The  sublethal  effects  of   water  soluble   fractions  of petrol (WSF) to  the  plasma  glucose  and liver glycogen of C<I>larias gariepinus</I> with mean weight of 4.76±0.4 g were investigated under laboratory conditions for 10 weeks. At sublethal concentrations of 1.36, 0.68, 0.34, 0.17 and 0.09 gL <SUP>1</SUP> of WSF of petrol, hyperglycaemia, a situation of increased plasma glucose level above the control was observed. Exposed group of fish to the toxicant were significantly lower (p&lt;0.05) in liver glycogen content than the control group of fish.
