OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishFish is one of the most valuable foods with high-quality animal protein. However, aquaculture, or ingesting contaminated food, allows organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) to enter the fish\'s body, and therefore, it negatively impacted public health. One-hundred and twenty random samples of Clupea harengus (C. harengus), Mugil cephalus (M. cephalus), Sardinella aurita (S. aurita), Oreochromis niloticus (O. niloticus), Neptunus pelagicus (N. pelagicus) and Sepia savigngi (S. savigngi) (n = 20 each) were collected from local markets in Mansoura city, Egypt. Samples were checked to see whether any residues of OCPs with the application of risk assessment due to their consumption by Mansoura citizens.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe findings have an impact on the monitoring of organochlorine compounds in fish tissues and the protection of consumer health. The study confirms that organochlorine pesticide levels in the analyzed seafood do not exceed the maximum permitted limits. This strengthens consumer confidence in the health safety of fish and seafood products available on the market, thereby reducing concerns about chronic exposure to toxic substances. Given the growing concerns about environmental contaminants, the study provides relevant data for public health authorities in risk assessment and in adopting measures to protect the population from long-term pesticide exposure.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe study impacts the educational process by engaging international students enrolled in general veterinary medicine programs in analytical and statistical methods related to food quality and fish health. The study provides a valuable educational resource for students in the fields of public health, food hygiene, toxicology, environmental sciences, and analytical chemistry. Students can learn how to conduct monitoring of chemical contaminants in animal-derived food products, how to determine pesticide residues, and understand the relationship between environmental exposure and population health. The study also promotes critical thinking about the consequences of environmental pollution and provides a foundation for interdisciplinary discussions across food safety, ecology, and medicine.
