A study was conducted to determine the growth performance and bioaccumulation and tolerance of metal mixture toxins in five fish species including Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhina mrigala, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Ctenopharyngodon idella separately, under chronic exposure of metal mixture (Fe + Zn + Pb) at sub-lethal concentrations (1/3 of LC50) for 12 weeks period. Moreover, response...
