  In these studies, we had determined the concentrations of heavy metals in P. hypophthalmus including sediment, water and Fish organs (gills, flesh, and liver) in order to evaluate the possible risk of consumption. Concentration of heavy metal was not significantly presence of water whereas heavy metal in sediment Ni: 26.31 mgkg-1-33.03 mgkg-1; Cu: 13.00 mgkg-1-23.20 mgkg-1; Cr: 7.31 mgkg-1-15.41 mgkg-1; Pb: 6.43 mgkg-1-8.65 mgkg-1; Cd: BDL (Below Detection Limits) were higher than that of fish parts (Cu-11.96, Pb-6.29, Cd-0.16 Ni-4.23, and Cr-11.03) mgkg-1Metal concentration in fish feed followed the sequence Cr>Cu>Ni>Pb>Cd and found that both farm feeds were more or less same quality except one or two metals. The concentration of heavy metals recorded in the fish parts also indicated a certain degree of bio-accumulation. The concentration of all metals in water were below.. View More»
