Several studies have revealed that Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) adversely affects fish health systems in various ways. However, further studies on oxidative stress and histopathological changes in fish tissues exposed to POME are essential so that a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of its toxicity is attained. Subsequently, this study investigated oxidative stress indicators, including malondialdehyde (MDA) content and activities of antioxidant enzymes, as well as histological changes in zebrafish (Danio rerio) tissues after chronic exposure to POME.

- Understanding the chronic toxicity of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) on zebrafish highlights its negative effects on growth, respiratory health, and skin appearance.
- Exposure to varying concentrations of POME over 28 days demonstrated significant reductions in growth metrics and oxygen consumption in zebrafish.
- Findings indicate that POME contamination leads to observable skin discoloration, emphasizing the need for improved management and regulation in the palm oil industry.
