Possible Ameliorative Effect of Zinc in Inhibiting the Toxicity of Tak as Organochlorine Pesticide on Oreochromis Niloticus .

The influence of sub lethal concentrations of Zinc (4.8 and 9.6 mg/l)and the experimental organochlorine pesticide Tak (1.5 and 3 mg/l)individually and in mixture on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)for fifteen days were investigated .The results revealed a significant increase ((P0.05)in liver residual Zinc and Tak than muscle tissue of Oreochromis niloticus , accompanied by a disturbance in fish physiological status with significant increase, in serum glucose level , cortisol hormone ,cholesterol , triglycerides , urea , creatinine , AST and ALT activities. The results also demonstrated synergistic effect of Zinc and Tak on Oreochromis niloticus fish exposed to the different studied sub lethal concentrations for 15 days.
