Evaluation of lead exposure effects on tissue accumulation, behavior, morphological and hemato-biochemical changes in common carp, Cyprinus carpio

Abstract

The study highlights Pb(NO₃)₂ harmful effects on common carp, impacting tissue accumulation, hematological parameters, and biochemical disruptions. It emphasizes the need to monitor and mitigate heavy metal pollution in aquatic environments to safeguard freshwater organisms and ecosystems, and to further increase our understanding of Pb toxicity in freshwater ecosystems.
