Tilapia have a high tolerance for various pollutants, which allows them to accumulate these harmful substances in their bodies. As these pollutants build up, they can damage vital organs such as the liver, gills, and kidneys.

“In a series of studies conducted at our institute, we observed elevated levels of pollutants and heavy metals in these organs. The greater the accumulation of pollutants, the more dangerous it becomes for both the fish and those who consume them,” says Dr Sally.
