haemato-biochemical dysfunction,oxidativestress,andDNAdamageinducedbyzincoxidenanoparticles(ZnONPs)in Oreochromis
niloticus. Four fish groupswereallocatedintriplicatesasfollows:groupI-control,groupII-treatedwith10g/kgdietCSP,
group III-exposedto1/20LC50 of ZnONPs,andgroupIV-exposedto1/20LC50 of ZnONPs+10 gCSP/kgdietfor30days.Blood,
