Sublethal Concentrations of Cadmium and Lead: Effects on Hemato-Biochemical Parameters and Tissue Accumulation in Wallagu attu

The exposure of fish to heavy metals can significantly impact physiological processes and potentially lead to adverse health effects. This study assesses the effects of exposure to Cd and Pb sublethal concentrations in water on Wallagu attu. A total of 48 fish with an average body weight of 145.5 ± 26 g were distributed among three groups (control, Cd-treated, and Pb-treated) within 60 L fiberglass tanks. They were exposed to 30
