The bio‐reductive fabrication of nanomaterials is a developing arena of study that seeks to fabricate nanoparticles (NPs) using microorganisms, plants, and animal blood. However, the chemical approach of AgNPs fulfills the need of abundant need of NPs. In contrast, chemically fabricated AgNPs are more toxic than biological AgNPs. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess and evaluate the chemically fabricated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for their possible toxicity in Common carp fish (Cyprinus carpio). The chemically synthesized silver nanoparticles were purchased from the market and applied for their possible toxicity. The chemically fabricated AgNPs were used against the Cyprinus carpio for bioaccumulation in different organs and histological alterations in the intestine and muscles. The results revealed that the AgNPs were mostly accumulated in the intestines followed by the gills, liver, and muscles (p
