Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

Mangur (Clarias batrachus) is an economically important carp. Heavy metal pollutants are accumulating in our aquatic systems due to natural as well as anthropogenic activities. Owing to the process of biomagnification, fish as well as human health are at risk for being at higher levels of food chain. In this review, we have summarized the results of recent heavy metal toxicological studies on mangur fish.
