Toxicological Assessment of Polypropylene Microplastics in Male Nile Tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ): Growth, Hematological, and Histopathological Insights

Polypropylene microplastics (PP‐MPs) are widely distributed in aquatic environments and may harm fish through ingestion. Despite growing research on microplastic toxicity, very limited study prevails on the pernicious impacts of waterborne PP‐MPs on Nile tilapia. Hence, this study aims to examine the impact of PP‐M...

Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) as a Model Organism for Assessing Long-Term Impacts of Municipal Wastewater Pollution on Early Fish Development.

The increasing release of micropollutants from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents poses growing risks to aquatic ecosystems; however, linking environmental exposure to biological responses under environmentally realistic conditions remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate biological responses associat...

Effect of Microplastics on Water Quality and Oreochromis Niloticus (Nile Tilapia) In Jakara River, Kano State, Nigeria

Microplastic contamination has emerged as a significant threat to freshwater ecosystems globally, yet data from African water bodies remain critically limited. This study assessed the occurrence of microplastics and their effects on water quality and oxidative stress responses in Oreochromis niloticus from Jakara Reser...

Short-Term Dietary Inclusion of Methylococcus capsulatus-Derived Single-Cell Protein Modulates Growth and Immune-Gene Expression in Juvenile Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

We here report immunomodulatory effects of feeding with microbial single-cell protein (SCP from Methylococcus capsulatus) on female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following replacement of conventional feed proteins in a 30-day feeding period. Conventional protein ingredients (soy protein concentrate, fishmeal (FM)...

Polylactic acid microplastics enhance copper bioavailability and host-microbiome toxicity during black soldier fly bioconversion of food waste: Mechanisms and multi-level impacts.

Biodegradable microplastics are increasingly entering food waste (FW) streams, yet their effects on heavy metal behavior during black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) bioconversion remain unclear. This study investigated the combined effects of polylactic acid microplastics (PLA-MPs, 1% w/w) and Cu (100-300 mg/kg ww) in a BSF...
