Abstract :Accumulation of zinc and copper in the spleen, brain and muscle tisses of Tilapia nilotica was investigated by using copper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 ppm); and zinc insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.0, 5.0 and 10.0 ppm); and copper-zinc mixture insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.1+1.0, 0.5+5.0 and 1.0+10.0 ppm); in the medium for the periods of 30 and 60 days. No mortality was observed during the exposure to of copper, zinc and copper-zinc mixtures over 60 days In both cases insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(alone and mixture); the highest levels of zinc and copper were accumulated in the spleen, whereas accumulation was the lowest in the brain. Accumulation of a metal in the tissues decreased in the presence of the other metal.
