Abstract:Owing that Oreochromis niloticus is resistant to different aquatic environments, four contaminated sites were selected: decentralized engineered ecosystem (DEE) and conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTP); urban lagoon; and gasolinecontaminated marshland. Endocrine disruption was assessed by alkali-labile phosphate (ALP) quantification, genotoxicity by micronuclei frequency, and morphological changes by hepatosomatic and gonadosomatic indexes. The ALP baseline of non-exposed O. niloticus males was low,… Show more
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.
