Contamination of heavy metals in Patin fish (Pangasius sp.) from Jelai River and Tembeling River, Pahang / Nur Amirah Amir

A study was conducted to determine and compare the concentration level of heavy metals in Pangasius sp. from Jelai River and Tembeling River, Pahang. Physical parameters measured were water temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, pH and conductivity. Metals concentration in fish and grower f...
