Abstract Agricultural chemicals, insecticides, and urban activities pollute the aquatic environment on a regular basis. Aquatic pollution has an impact on the health and survival of organisms like fish, and eventually reaches the food chain, threatening biodiversity and ecological equilibrium in nature. The goal of this research was to look into the many adverse effects that Oreochromis niloticus experienced after being exposed to Imidacloprid insecticide, as well as the protective ability of ascorbic acid in water against Imidacloprid toxicity. Materials used in the work: 1- A commercial formulation of imidacloprid (Imid) prepared in two concentrations (8.75 & 17.5 ppm) administered in water as a simulation of pollution in the environment. 2- Ascorbic acid (Asc), 50 ppm, administered in water as a protective agent. The present study was carried out using Oreochromis niloticus juveniles weighting 30.4±9.3 g, (n= 60) |
