Abstract
In the present study, freshwater fish Oreochromis mossambicus were exposed to sub lethal concentrations (120, 150 and 180â¯ppm) of Aluminium oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) for 96â¯h. Histological abnormalities were not observed in the organs of control fishes whereas severe damages and extensive architectural loss was found in the brain, gill, intestine, kidney and muscle tissues of treated fishes with more pronounced effects in 180â¯ppm. The results showed that the acute exposure to Al2O3NPs altered the histoarchitecture in various fish tissues.
