living organisms. However, this element may become very dangerous if used beyond its …

The release of pollutants, especially heavy metals, into the aquatic environment is known to
have detrimental effects on such an environment and on living organisms including humans …

One of the top ecological priorities is to find sensitive indicators for pollution monitoring. This
study focuses on the bioconcentration and responses (condition index, survival, oxygen …

In freshwater osmoregulating mollusks, Cu can cause toxicity by inducing ionoregulatory
disturbances. In mussels, it inhibits the activity of key enzymes involved in Na+ uptake and …

Copper is an essential micronutrient but its excess in the dietary can be toxic. Both copper
deficiency and abundance can occur in natural conditions and can lead to pathological …

The development of nonlethal methods for the monitoring of environmental contamination is
essential to minimize the negative effects on studied species and communities. Fish scales …

Dietary copper requirement of Heteropneustes fossilis (6.74±0.03 g) was determined by
feeding purified diets containing same protein (400 g/kg) and gross energy (17.89 kJ/g) but …

The aim of the research was to observe the process of copper and lead accumulation in
tissues of adult females of the common carp, during a long‐time (3 years) dietary exposure …

Beyond the role of anthropogenic activities, natural sources of metal contaminations are still
controversial, together counting, however, as a major threat to inland and coastal waters …

The objective of the present study was to investigate the nutritive value and heavy metals
accumulation in the flesh of Clarias lazera (Cuvier and Valenciennes) reared in the …
