Abstract :
The study highlights the potential of the black-chinned tilapia to be used as a sentinel to assess environmental contaminants based on the use of a set of biomarkers The usefulness of fish species as sentinels for assessing aquatic environment contamination was tested using a set of biomarkers in Senegalese environments characterized by multi-pollution sources The black-chinned tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron was selected as a sentinel because of its abundance wide distribution in all coastal aquatic ecosystems and physiological properties The potential influence of confounding factors such as salinity on biomarker in the tilapia has been examined Individuals were sampled during two seasons dry and wet in eight sites characterized by various degrees of anthropogenic contamination and different salinities from |
