Analysis of accumulation of heavy metals (Copper, Zinc, Iron, Cadmium and Lead) in Polynemus tetradactylus, environment pollution from east Godavari district-Andhra Pradesh, India.
Keywords:
Accumulation of Heavy metals, Polynemus tetradactylus, Environment pollutionAbstract
Accumulation of heavy metals in Polynemus tetradactylus is an indication of pollution in aquatic ecosystem due to anthropogenic activities. The order of metal magnification was Fe>Zn>Cu>Cd>Pb, whereas the total mean metal concentration of heavy metals viz., copper, zinc, iron, cadmium and lead were recorded as 9.96±0.10; 42.50±0.58; 76.24±1.04; 0.31±0.05 and 0.14±0.05 ppm and all the values were found in permissible levels except cadmium as per European standards. No significance (p >0.05) was observed in between the species. The levels of Cu, Zn, Fe, Cd and Pb may cause health issues to the rural communities that depend on fish meal as fish supplement in view of its rich protein content.
