Amelioration of tannery effluent toxicity and stress revival was analysed through an approach by preparing a formulated feed with feed components comprising Nelumbo nucifera seeds and Wheatgrass as major ingredients in an enhanced formulation. The formulated feed was fed to fingerlings of Oreochromis mossambicus exposed to tannery effluent in laboratory confinement to observe its effect on growth and protective effect from toxic nature of the effluent. This study aimed to assess the effect of the sublethal concentration of tannery effluent over an exposure period of 45 days. The LC50was analysed for the tannery effluent to select the suitable sublethal concentration. The body weight differences was be determined, the muscle tissue was analysed for biomolecular constituents by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. Alterations were observed in body weight and muscle tissue biochemical constituents in fishes exposed to the effluent fed on normal diet and formulated feed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
