What is it about?

The paper focused on the comparison between abilities of selected tissues of catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and tilapia fish (Tilapia mariae) to absorb chemicals from a polluted environment. Hence, it assessed how palatable these fishes can be.

Why is it important?

It provides vital information for decision makers on quality control of consumables.

Perspectives

Many nations in developing countries suffer gross water resource shortage due to environmental degradation attributable to low standard of living unregulated industrial activities etc. Many polluted wetlands remain source of fish and shellfish to settlements near-by. The health of the consumers of the fishes from the polluted rivers are linked to the level of contamination of the fishes. Hence, the contamination levels need to be assessed. Furthermore, contamination potentials vary with seasons, therefore regulatory bodies require information as to the contamination potentials of fishes in different seasons; as a function of their habits.
