Nephrotoxic impacts of AlO nanoparticles (NPs) were studied in Oreochromis niloticus after seven days of exposure and fifteen days of recovery periods. Fish were classified as group I (dechlorinated water); group II (2 mg/L AlONPs); group III (4 mg/L AlONPs); group IV (8 mg/L AlONPs). Blood creatinine and uric acid levels showed marked increases in groups III and IV. A dose-dependent disturbance in renal antioxidant components was recorded as indicated by elevated catalase, superoxide dismutase, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels, and decreased glutathione reduced concentration. Renal histopathology was recorded with the highest % of appearance in group IV. A reduction in renal Al content, kidney function biomarkers (excepting group IV), and enhanced antioxidant status were observed after applying a recovery strategy. Several structural damages were identified following the recovery period, but the alteration frequencies indicated regressive histopathological changes. The AlONPs-induced nephrotoxicity can be reduced after applying a suitable recovery period.

In the quest for an ideal wound healing material, human amniotic membrane (AM), tilapia skin collagen (TSC), and Centella asiatica (CA) have been studied separately for their healing potential. In this study, we formulated AM, TSC, and CA gel and studied their competency and wound healing efficacy in vivo. Gel was formulated using AM, TSC, CA, Carbopol 934, acrylic acid, glycerine, and triethanolamine and physicochemical properties e.

Brood care relies on interactions between parents and offspring. Emergence of nestlings from their nest has been hypothesized to rely on the readout by the parent of the maturational state of the young. Theoretical considerations predict a conflict: parents should push for early emergence, if possible, to reduce care demands and maximize the number of reproductive cycles, whereas offspring should delay leaving to maximize resource allocation and protection by the parents.

Biofloc technology is an aquaculture production system that has gained popularity with tilapia production. Probiotics provide benefits for the host and/or aquatic environments by both regulating and modulating microbial communities and their metabolites. When a probiotic feed is combined with a biofloc system, the production amount may be improved through better fish growth, disease resistance, and/or improved water quality by reducing organic matter and stabilizing metrics such as pH and components of the nitrogen cycle.

High levels of nitrogen compounds can lead to acute toxicity in aquatic organisms. Ammonia, a by-product of protein breakdown, is the most prevalent contaminant in freshwater environments. Increasing salinity in water sources can cause fluctuations in salinity levels within breeding ponds.
