Al-KahtaniProblem statement: Al-Khadoud Spring is one of the largest spring in Al-Hassa governorate (Saudi Arabia). Due to the extended domestic activities and urbanization as well as the continuous industrial and agricultural growth of the region, spring water quality is potentially changing. Approach: This study was conducted to measure toxic heavy metal concentrations in water and fish samples along the spring … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 11,802 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Dietary Emamectin Benzoate at Recommended and Overdose Levels on the Pathophysiological Responses and Tolerability of Oreochromis niloticus at Fry StageJasmine Singha, Thangapalam Jawahar Abraham, Satyen Kumar Panda, Prasanna Kumar PatilEmamectin Benzoate (EB) has been recommended as a feed additive for the control of fish ectoparasites. This investigation examined the impact of dietary EB on physiological responses, antioxidant defence mechanisms, and histopathological changes in key organs, and on the kinetics of residue deposition and elimination in the muscle of Oreochromis niloticus fry. Fry were administered EB feeds at 50 µg … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,469 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffect of an Insecticide Abamectin on Some Biochemical Characteristics of Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis Niloticus)Mohammed A. Al-KahtaniProblem statement: Presence of pesticide in streams and lakes is largely due to the runoff from agricultural fields. Pesticides are not highly selective but are generally toxic to many macrophytes, non-target organisms such as fish. Fish, generally accumulate contaminants from aquatic environments and have been largely used in food safety studies. Approach: The toxic effect of the insecticide abamectin on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,594 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparability Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Tissue Load in Some Fish: Implication on Reciprocal Synergism and Risk AssessmentVictor Eshu Okpashi, Ogugua Victor Nwadiogbu, Joshua Parkar Elijah et al.Six years after oil spill occur in Qua Ibeo river, environmental monitoring was set out to investigate residual petroleum compounds (PHCs) that are bio-accumulated by fish. Bio-concentration of residual Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in fish tissues was determined in six fresh fish species. Twelve water samples were collected from Qua Ibeo river 1 KM apart. The screening was conducted using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,541 accessesView PDF Cite
