Tracing Sources and Stage‐Specific Impacts of Heavy Metal Contamination in Farmed Tilapia ( <i>Oreochromis niloticus</i> ): Implications for Human Health Risk
The results indicate that tilapia raised in contaminated environments may not pose an immediate risk to consumers, but long-term exposure through sediment and feed can lead to gradual metal build-up. Therefore, routine monitoring of feed quality and sediment conditions is critical for safe aquaculture practices. These findings offer valuable guidance for hatchery operators and fish farmers, emphasising the need for preventive strategies to ensure the sustainable and safe production of tilapia.
