Metallothionein in Nile Cichlid from Wastewater by Utpal Singha Roy is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study examines the use of metallothionein assays to bio-monitor trace metal stress in Nile cichlids thriving in fishponds fed with contaminated wastewater in the East Calcutta Wetlands Ramsar site.
