Dual effect of selenium loaded chitosan nanoparticles on growth, antioxidant, immune related genes expression, transcriptomics modulation of caspase 1, cytochrome P450 and heat shock protein and Aeromonas hydrophila resistance of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Nowadays there is a great attention for nanotechnology in aquaculture production. It has an efficient role in nutrients and drugs delivery, ponds sterilization, water treatment and aquatic diseases reduction. Till now, there is no available data on impact of selenite-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (SeChNPs) on Nile tilapia.
