Improvements in the neurodevelopmental toxicity of heavy metals for Dicentrarchus labrax by an algal mixture of Spirulina platensis and Chlorella vulgaris

Abstract

In response to the rising demand for aquatic products for human consumption, aquaculture has developed significantly as an agronomic activity worldwide. Proteins and amino acids are significant macromolecules that govern vital metabolic processes and act as building blocks for the creation of compounds with biological significance. Fish play a significant function in human nutrition and are a significant dietary source of high-quality animal proteins and amino acids. The effect of toxic metals (cadmium and lead) on total central amino acids compositions (Essential, Conditionally Essential, and Non-Essential), and Crude protein concentration were examined in the current study for the juvenile European sea Dicentrarchus labrax , a stress-sensitive species, and evaluation the protective effect of the dietary Spirulina platensis and Chlorella vulgaris algal mixture as a supplement. Fish fed the control diet and kept in freshly filtered seawater without the addition of any pollutants (Control)
