Abstract:The purpose of the study was to ascertain the preventative value of dietary supplements with fruits of the prickly pear on the haemato-biochemical and immunological responses of O. niloticus exposed to subacute waterborne cadmium toxicity. Four diets supplemented with different proportions of fruits of 0% (control, OLFE-0% group), 0.5% (OLFE-0.5% group), 1% (OLFE-1% group), and 2% (OLFE-2% group) were administered to tilapia fingerlings for sixty days (pre-cadmium). After the feeding session, the tilapia treat… Show more
