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.

Egypt ranks first in tilapia production in Africa and third globally. In 2021, it achieved a total fish production of 2.3 million tons across various species, with tilapia alone accounting for more than half of this output.

"Additionally, fish may migrate from one polluted location to another in search of cleaner environments, which results in certain lakes becoming devoid of specific species that cannot tolerate pollution like others." - Dr. Sally Salah El-Din

“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.
