Recently, researchers in aquaculture become interested green synthesized nanomaterials as a superior alternative to current conventional methodologies. The present work shows that Moringa oleifera magnetite nanoparticles (MS-Fe3O4NPs) might offer possible substitute for common antibiotics treat Aeromonas sobria infection African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). MS-Fe3O4NPs demonstrated an vitro antibacterial potential (21 mm inhibition zone) against A. sobria. fish (n = 120; average body weight: 90 ± 3.5 g) were randomized into four groups (control, MS-Fe3O4NPs, sobria, and + sobria), where 1.2 mg/L of was used bath treatment seven-days. caused substantial elevations malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, stress indices, hepato-renal biomarkers well lower survival rate. Moreover, apparent depletion the level antioxidants, protein profile, immune indicators consequences infection. Surprisingly, sobria-infected with recovered these parameters.

Hence, this study a pioneer attempt verify the in vitro and vivo efficacy of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanogel (MNG) mitigating waterborne lead (Pb) African catfish. Fish (n = 160) were assigned into four groups for 45 days. The first (control) second exposed 0 1.2 mg L−1 MNG water. third fourth (MNG + Pb) water 69.30 Pb. In vitro, caused dramatic drop Pb level within 120 h. Pb-exposed group showed lowest survival (57.5%) among groups, with substantial elevations hepato-renal function lipid peroxide (MDA).
