Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Cadmium is a harmful heavy metal that can negatively impact the physiology, metabolism, and nutritional quality of fish. This study looked into how cadmium nitrate exposure affects the proximate composition of two fish species: African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The experiment was conducted in research farm at Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education Owerri Nigeria. Completely randomized design was adopted which involved five treatments and three replicates.
