Tilapia mariae (n = 7) and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (n=7) all of which are consumable (edible) by human. The mean T-Hg concentration in the fish species ranged from 0.00 to 0.04 mg/kg in the tilpia zilli‚ 0.00 to 0.04 mg/kg in the tilapia mariae 0.00 to 0.04 mg/kg in Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus with respective means of 0.02 mg/kg‚ 0.01 mg/kg and 0.01 mg/kg
