This study assessed the protective effects of dietary exopolysaccharide (EPS) against lead (Pb)-induced toxicity in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). A total of 180 mono-sex fingerlings (5.43 ± 0.01 g) were randomly assigned to 12 hapas in three cement ponds, divided into four groups in triplicate: a Pb-contaminated control group (50 ppm) and three groups receiving Pb-contaminated diets supplemented with 1%, 2%, or 3% EP...

Acrylamide (ACR) is widely applied in various industrial activities, as well as in the water purification process. Furthermore, ACR is synthesized naturally in some starchy grains exposed to high temperatures for an extended time during the cooking process. Because of its widespread industrial usage, ACR might be released into water stream sources. Also, ACR poses a high risk of contaminated surface and ground-water resources...

Intensive fish culturing systems depend on provides optimal water quality conditions. Hence, the most important aquaculture practices are the removal of contamination elements related not only to the water quality parameters unacceptable for aquatic species but also to the undesirable effect on the health of fish and consumers. During the last three decades, common applications and production of pesticides have amplified progr...
