Abstract:

Acute toxicity of Copper sulphate (CuSO4, 5H2O) to Oreochromis mossambicus (Tilapia) was investigated. The present study was conducted to evaluate the toxic effect of water born Copper sulphate to Oreochromis mossambicus (Tilapia). Fish species displayed different mortality responses to the varying concentrations of copper sulphate studied (45, 46, 47, 48 and 49mg/L) 96-hour LC50 value for was found to be 47mg/L-1.

Keywords:

LC50, Toxicity, Copper sulphate and Oreochromis mossambicus (Tilapia)
