Survival and heavy metal accumulation of two Oreochromis niloticus (L.) strains exposed to mixtures of zinc, cadmium and mercury
(Elsevier, 1994)
Two Nile tilapia strains of Oreochromis niloticus (L.) (Cichlidae, Teleostei) fingerlings were exposed to mixtures of zinc, cadmium and mercury. The two strains used were Chitralada or NIFI (originally from the National ...
Resistance to a heavy metal mixture in Oreochromis niloticus progenies from parents chronically exposed to the same metals
(Elsevier, 1995)
Adult Oreochromis niloticus were mass spawned in concrete tanks. The one-month old progenies (F<sub>1</sub>) were exposed for two months to a mixture of 0.01 mg L<sup>−1</sup> Hg, 0.1 mg L<sup>−1</sup> Cd and 1.0 mg ...
Effects of long-term exposure to a mixture of cadmium, zinc, and inorganic mercury on two strains of tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L.)
(Springer Verlag, 1993)
Tilapia are an economically important group of fish. They have a short generation period of 3-6 months, and exhibit successive breeding. In addition, their fast growth, herbivorous or omnivorous feeding habits, high food ...
Behavior changes and \(\mathsf{LC_{50}}\) of dried garlic (Allium sativum) acute toxicity in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juvenile
(College of Agriculture and Food Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2023-06)
Plant-based compounds are emerging substitutes for chemical treatments in aquaculture since they are known to cause less harm to both the environment and its organisms. Garlic (Allium sativum) is a popular herb that has a broad range of uses, especially in the control and treatment of bacterial and parasitic diseases. However, its toxicity to tilapia is not well-studied. Hence, this study was conducted to test the toxicity levels of garlic powder in juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by determining the cumulative mortality and median lethal concentration (LC<sub>50</sub>). Test fish were exposed through immersion in 6 concentrations (150, 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 mg L<sup>-1</sup>) of garlic powder with 25% allicin and a control in 96 h static bioassay. Within 24 h, test fish exposed to 250 mg L<sup>-1</sup> garlic and above, exhibited abnormal behaviors such as lethargy, gasping for air, and weak responses to environmental stimuli. Cumulative mortality was highest at 100% in 400 mg L<sup>-1</sup> garlic at 48 h. Mortalities were dependent on the concentration and duration of exposure. The 96 h LC<sub>50</sub> of garlic powder to O. niloticus is 225.86 mg L<sup>-1</sup> with lower and upper confidence limits of 210.37 and 242.50 mg L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively at 27°C....
