Overview

Randomized trial investigates pesticide levels in fish tissues, revealing health risks for consumers.

Key Points

  • This study aimed to assess pesticide accumulation in fish tissues and its effects on biochemical health markers and human health risks.
  • Collected fish samples from four farms with varying water sources in Fayoum, Egypt.
  • Analyzed pesticide levels in water and gill, liver, and muscle tissues of Oreochromis niloticus and Mugil cephalus.
  • Evaluated biochemical responses including liver enzyme activity and stress markers.
  • Pesticide residues exceeded regulatory limits in fish from farms using agricultural drainage water.
  • O. niloticus showed the highest liver accumulation; M. cephalus had more residues in gills.
  • Overall dietary risk to consumers was low, despite high pesticide presence.
