Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: FN Ekeh --- Department of Zoology and Environmental Biology, Nigeria EN Ekechukwu --- Department of Zoology and Environmental Biology, Nigeria CI Atama --- Department of Zoology and Environmental Biology, Nigeria FI Ezenwajiaku --- Department of Zoology and Environmental Biology, Nigeria CM Ohanu --- Department of Zoology and Environmental Biology, Nigeria JI Nzei --- Department of Zoology and Environmental Biology, Nigeria ION Aguzie --- Department of Zoology and Environmental Biology, Nigeria GE Odo --- Department of Zoology and Environmental Biology, Nigeria UME Dibuah --- Department of Microbiology, NigeriaThe oxidative stress responses of Clarias gariepinus exposed to potassium dichromate at sublethal concentrations for 28 days were studied in 2017. Fish were exposed to 0.165, 0.0825 and 0.033 mg l−1 corresponding to 1/10, 1/20 and 1/50 of the 96... -
Effects of chronic exposures of selected heavy metals on the glutathione S-transferase activity of freshwater snails Lymnaea natalensis in Zimbabwe
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: SM Mnkandla --- Ecotoxicology Research Group, Department of Applied Biology and Biochemistry, Zimbabwe AH Siwela --- Ecotoxicology Research Group, Department of Applied Biology and Biochemistry, Zimbabwe N Basopo --- Ecotoxicology Research Group, Department of Applied Biology and Biochemistry, ZimbabweThe effect of the heavy metals (cadmium, copper, mercury and lead) on snail glutathione S-transferase (GST) was investigated in 2015. Groups of Lymnaea natalensis snails were exposed to heavy metals for 28 days at concentrations reportedly found in the Mguza...
