AB  - This study evaluated Tilapia sp.'s biological parameters and cholinesterase enzyme activity along the Maragondon River. The biological parameters assessed were length-weight relationship and condition factor. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes were measured in the brain, muscle, and hepatic tissues of Tilapia sp. Enzyme inhibition rates were then calculated at midstream and downstream stations relative to the reference site upstream. Results showed that Tilapia sp. exhibited negative allometric growth patterns (b < 3), supported by high correlation coefficients (0.86-0.94). The condition factor (K) values across sampling sites ranged from 1.94 to 3.82, indicating the overall fitness of Tilapia sp. However, AChE and BChE enzymes above the 20% threshold were observed at midstream and downstream stations of the river. Specifically, 49.03% and 48.41% inhibition in AChE and BChE of muscle tissue in midstream samples, 22.03% inhibition in the liver and 31.53% inhibition in muscle AChE at downstream station. The cholinesterase tissue localisation was also inferred, arranged from highest to lowest activity as follows: liver > brain > muscle. These findings provide valuable insights into the exposure of Tilapia sp. to cholinesterase inhibitors in Maragondon River, emphasising the importance of biomarkers in assessing the effect of environmental contaminants on aquatic organisms.
