Comparing Effect of Lead Nitrate on Proximate Composition of Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus
This study investigated the effects of lead nitrate exposure on the proximate composition of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The research was conducted in the research farm of the Department of Agriculture, Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education, Owerri Nigeria. Five treatment levels were considered: 0, 1.55, 3.10, 4.65, and 6.20 mg/L of lead, using Lead nitrate as the lead source. The proximate parameters evaluated were moisture, fibre, ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrate contents.
