Abstract

Effects of zinc on sera aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities and glucose, total protein and cholesterol levels together with liver, gill, kidney, spleen and muscle accumulation of the metal were studied after exposing Clarias gariepinus to 1.0 and 5.0 ppm Zn over 24, 48 and 96 hours.
