The project, "Survival, growth and body composition of under different salinity regimes" was undertaken in two phases. In the first phase susceptibility of at four salinity levels in triplicate within 0-10 g LNaCl for 96 h in each aquarium was checked after one week acclamation at 0 g L, 2 g L and 4 g L NaCl.

The accelerated use of nanomaterials has increased the potential discharge of nanomaterials into the environment in different ways. The aquatic environment is mainly susceptible as it is likely to act as an ultimate sink for all contaminants.

This is worrying because NPs can enter the human body owing to their large aspect-to-size ratio and reactive surfaces that facilitate their penetration through biological barriers and thus can induce oxidative stress in host cells. Therefore, there is a growing concern about the toxicity of NPs, which needs to be addressed.

It is recognized that their frequent use can create compatibility challenges for the recipient systems. Nevertheless, it is unclear how various biological interactions affect the compatibility of Cu oxide II (CuO) and Cu oxide nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) for different organisms.
