Abstract:Climate warming due to increases in atmospherictemperature and heavy metal contamination constitutesa major issue for the aquatic ecosystem. Heavy metal toxicity hinges on an organismâs tolerable limit ofexposure to these elements, and in the aquatic environment, higher temperatures enhances this toxicity infish. The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effects of higher temperature and differentfeed uptake on Hg and Cd accumulation in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fish were exposed … Show more
