Growth, biochemical variables, and zinc bioaccumulation in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.) as affected by water-born zinc toxicity and exposure period
Abstract The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of sublethal zinc (Zn) concentrations on growth performance, biochemical variables, and Zn residues in various organs of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.). Fish (25 ± 0.5 g) were exposed to 0.0, 3.5, or 7.0 mg Zn L−1 for 1 o...
