Abstract | ||||
This study was conducted to evaluate the potential hazardous associatd with two different species of fresh water fish, bolti (Ti/apia ni/otica) and karmout (C/arias sp < /em>.) caught from River Nile, Abbassa aquaculture and channel of Bahr EI-Bakar (Sharkyia Governorate). Microbial contaminations and heavy metals levels were determined in the fish and water collected from different sources as well as, superoxide dismutase enzyme activity (SOD) in fish organs. The results showed that water samples collected from channel of Bahr EI-Bakar were more polluted with heavy metals such as (Pb, Cd, Mn and Cr) and microorganisms, followed by water samples collected from Abbassa aquaculture, while, water samples collected from River Nile were the lowest in contamination; similarly, fish samples caught from channel of Bahr EI-Bakar were more polluted with heavy metals and microorganisms, followed by fish samples caught from Abbassa aquaculture, then fish samples caught from River Nile. Karmout fish was more polluted than bolti fish. Moreover, the liver of all fish sa-nples caught from River Nile possessed the highest activity value of SOD. | ||||
