The use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been rapidly growing because its
antimicrobial activities. In this study, African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were exposed
to different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) T1 (10 mg/kg), T2 (5
mg/kg), T3 (2.5 mg/kg), T4 (1.25 mg/kg), T5 (0.625 mg/kg) and control (0 mg/kg)
for a 21-day period. Fish that were fed with T5 showed higher percentage of body
weight gain (65.38%) compared to control (40.48%). Glucose level of fish fed with
T1 were significantly higher (p
