Abstract

The aim of the present study is to assess the accumulation of detergents residues; Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonate (LAS) in Burullus and Edku water and muscles of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and investigate hazards effect on fish. The data showed a significant accumulation of LAS in Burullus and Edku water and fish muscles compared to the reference site. A significant decrease in serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, and glutathione reductase (GSH) concentration was shown in Burullus and Edku fishes compared to those in the control fish.
