Abstract: The protective efficacy of dietary naringenin (NG) has been investigated against the toxicity caused by cadmium chloride (CdCl) using biomarkers of oxidative stress in the liver, gills and kidney of Labeo rohita. The fish were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of CdCl(0.37 and 0.62 mg/L) and simultaneously orally administered with NG (50 mg/kg bw/day) for 60 days. Tissue (gills, liver and kidney) samples were collected on days 15, 30 and 60 of the experiment and analysed for endogenous antioxidants and oxidative stress biomarkers. CdClexposure for 15 and 30 days induced the development of adaptive mechanism as demonstrated by the enhanced activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase in all three tissues. However, on the 60th day, CdCl-induced oxidative damage was stipulated by a decline in the enzyme activities and reduced glutathione (GSH) content significantly (p
