Lead biosorption and histological changes in gills and liver of juvenile african catfish (Clarias gariepinus) treated with neem (Azadirachta indica) and mango leaves (Mangifera indica)
Abstract:Lead (Pb) is non-biodegradable in nature, thus accumulate in the environment especially the aquaculture. This study was aimed at investigating lead biosorption and histological changes in gills and liver of juvenile African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) treated with neem (Azadirachta indica) and mango leaves (Mangifera indica). A total of 180 healthy juveniles of Clarias gariepinus were used for the period of six (6) weeks of this experiment. They were divided into two groups of pulverized neem and mango leaves… Show more
