Abstract

The activity of aminotransferase (ALT) in the gills and muscles of O.niloticus after exposure to sublethal concentration of cadmium for about 18days was measured. The treated fish showed high levels of ALT activety in their
gills and muscles compared with those of control ones. The results revealed that cadmium adversily affects the metabolism of O. niloticus, where the enzyme (ALT) can be used as good biomarker of contamination.
