Abstract: | The ultimate aim of this study is to predict how genomic of aquatic organisms respond to heavy metal exposure. Nile/ Red tilapia fingerlings siblings ( Oroechromis niloticus) (2.5 cm ± 0.5) were exposed to lead (Pb2+). The study was conducted into 3 parts whereby each part is interrelated. The first part was the lead acute toxicity test. Using probit method (computer program), the 96--h LC50 value for tilapia fingerlings was 2. 7313 ppm. This value was then used to design a sub-lethal concentration (2. 7313 ppm, 2.0484 ppm, 1.3656 ppm, 0.6828 ppm and O ppm), by which the fishes were exposed to a period of 30 days. At the end of each 10 days, 3 fishes were killed. |
