Ultrastructural effects on gill tissues induced in red tilapia Oreochromis sp. by a waterborne lead exposure

Experiments on hybrid red tilapia Oreochromis sp. were conducted to assess histopathological effects induced in gill tissues of 96 h exposure to waterborne lead (5.5 mg/L). These tissues were investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that structural design of gill tissue...
