Challenges to wastewater aquaculture: a case study of traditional and emerging contaminant concentrations in African catfish [Abstract only]
This study assesses the microbial and heavy metal distribution in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) cultured in waste stabilization pond, and their subsequent suitability for human consumption. Treated wastewater-fed pond (WFP) was used in the culture of the fish with a non-wastewater fed pond...
