Seasonal assessment of some heavy metal pollution and Metallothionein gene expression in cultured Oreochromis niloticus

Abstract Background The present study was planned to estimate the heavy metal concentrations in water samples and fish tissue residue (liver and muscle) of cultured Oreochromis niloticus as well as metallothionein (MT) gene expression in fish liver. Fish samples were collected from different private...
