Volume : II, Issue : XII, January - 2013 BIOACCUMULATION OF HEAVY AND ESSENTIAL METALS IN THE SELECTED FRESHWATER FISH SPECIES FROM PREUMAL LAKE CUDDALORE DISTRICT, TAMILNADU, INDIA. G. AMBEDKAR AND M. MUNIYAN DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The present study was conducted to determine the heavy and essential metals,
chromium, cadmium, copper, lead, iron, zinc and manganese concentrations in gill,
liver, kidney, intestine and muscle of the available freshwater fish Mystus vittatus,
Heteropneustes fossilis, Glossogobius giuris, Notopterous notopterous and Tilapia
mossambica of the Perumal lake Cuddalore district, Tamilnadu, India collected during
the January 2011- December 2011. Heavy and essential metals concentrations varied in
significantly depending upon the type of fish tissues and locations. In the selected
freshwater fish, liver tissues appeared to have significantly higher tendency to
bioaccumulation of chromium followed by Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe, Zn and Mn. The maximum
level of chromium was found in the liver tissue of Heteropneustes fossilis, while the
minimum level of zinc was observed in the muscle tissue of Notopterous notopterous.
Among the analyzed metals chromium, cadmium, iron, zinc and manganese levels were
exceed the WHO recommended limits. Copper and lead levels within the permissible
limits for human consumption might be representing a risk for human health. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : G. AMBEDKAR AND M. MUNIYAN, (2013).
