Toxicity of an Organophosphate Pesticide (chloropyrifos) on a common Niger Delta Wetland Fish - <i>Tilapia guineensis</i> (Blecker 1862)
The acute and sublethal toxicity of an organophosphate pesticide (Chloropyrifos) on the juvenile of Tilapia guineensis was evaluated to determine its effect on the survival, body functions and heamatological values. The fish was exposed to varying levels of the toxicant (0.0125mg/l; 0.025mg/l; 0.05m...
