“…Nowadays, different anthropogenic activities including agriculture, industries (Joda et al, 2019;Aris et al, 2020) urban run-off (Adeossun et al, 2015;Montazer et al, 2018) mining activities (Shahbaaet al, 2020;Soulivongsa et al, 2020) and geochemical structure (Naggar et al, 2018) increases the aquatic heavy metals pollution (Shahbaaet al, 2020;Ma et al, 2020). The quality of water affects aquatic life (Olanrewaju et al, 2017;Tulsankar et al, 2020) this is why ponds' management is a key during fish farming (Agyakwah et al, 2020) for its importance for aquatic biodiversity (Hornbach et al, 2020) as poor water quality reduce fishes yield (Makori et al, 2017).…”

The anthropogenic activities have caused increase in the aquatic heavy metals pollution. The higher concentration of heavy metals in fish’s body also affects the consumers as it reaches to human body through the food chain. This study was conducted to analyze the ponds’ water quality based on physicochemical parameters and nutrients in relation to the dissolved heavy metals accumulated in the fishes’ body by using R programing. In this study, the heavy metals bio-accumulated from barrage pond and diversions ponds was analysed. Kigembe, Nyamagana, Rwasave fertilized and Rwasave non-fertilized ponds were purposively chosen for the study. The water sample was analysed using HACH DR5000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer to measure Ammonium-Nitrogen, Nitrate-Nitrogen, Phosphates and Total Phosphorus at Chemistry Department’s Laboratory of University of Rwanda. While after filtration of water samples using Whatman filter papers, heavy metals including Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Ni, Co, Cd, Cr and Pb were determined using ICP-MS 7900. The analysis of physicochemical parameters showed that the temperature, pH, Conductivity, Turbidity and TDS were within the permissible limit of ponds’ water (20-300C, 6.5-9, less than 1000 µs/cm, 30-60 NTU and less than 2000 mg/L respectively) quality for all the sites except Rwasave fishponds, where lower pH was observed. The nutrients level in these ponds were low comparing to the standard limit. The assessed heavy metals were Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Cd, Cr and Pb whose concentrations analyzed in water were within permissible limit of 0.3ppm, 1ppm, 0.1ppm, 3ppm, 0.003ppm, 0.5ppm and 0.01ppm respectively while heavy metals bio-accumulated were within the permissible limit of 0.1ppm, 1ppm, 0.05ppm, 5ppm, 0.05ppm, 0.05ppm and 0.05ppm respectively for all the sites except for both dissolved and bio-accumulated Fe and Mn concentration which were high for all sites. The highest level of heavy metals concentration was obtained in particular Fe and Mn. This shows that there is urgent need of continuous water quality analysis within the ponds for maintaining the favorite conditions for fish. The water quality monitoring will help the farmers to create the safe aquatic environment for fishes and improve their production output.

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the levels and risks associated with heavy metals in the soil samples collected during the dry and wet seasons around metal scrap recycling areas in Ogijo, Ogun State. Study Design: The soil samples were collected randomly within the industries and communities in the vicinity of the scrap metal recycling industries (SMRI) and analyzed with XRF. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in Ogijo in Sagamu Local Government Area, Ogun State, located within Southwestern Nigeria. The soil samples were collected in dry and wet seasons (5th to 7th March and 24th to 25th September 2020 respectively. Methodology: Soil samples within the industries and communities in the vicinity of the SMR were collected randomly, dried, and then sieved through a 2mm mesh stainless sieve. The sieved sample was analyzed for heavy metal concentration by using S2 Ranger, and Bruker UKX-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy techniques (XRF). Results: The results of the analyzed soil showed that the range of concentrations of heavy metals in the soil samples collected during dry season were: Fe (40100 - 87300 mg/kg); Mn (400 - 3500 mg/kg); Zn (600 -1300 mg/kg); Pb (400 - 1000 mg/kg) and during wet season: Fe (26100 -82700); Mn (500- 4200) mg/kg. Zn (600 – 1300) mg/kg; and Pb were only detected in S3 sample (600mg/kg). The results of the heavy metals were found to exceed the WHO permissible limits of heavy metals. Contamination index, degree of contamination, and pollution load indices indicated slight contamination to excessive pollution, very high risk of the degree of contamination, and extremely polluted soils respectively. The geo-accumulation index was uncontaminated to moderate contamination (0<Igeo≤1) with different metals at different locations that were not detected and with all the detected Zn concentrations (except at S1) to extreme contamination (Igeo≥5).Heavy metal enrichment during both dry and wet seasons ranged from background rank (EF ≤ 1) to moderate enrichment. Eri values ranged from low (Eri) <40) to moderate ecological risk (Eri > 80) with all the risk indices of the locations low (RI <150). The cumulative non-carcinogenic, health index (HI) for ingestion and dermal for soil during the dry season were all above 1 indicating non - carcinogenic health concerns for the residents of the study areas as they recorded higher values. The CRI was far above the acceptable limit indicating that residents in S3 during the wet season and S2 and S9 during the dry season have the probability of contracting cancer through ingestion within the life time of 70 years. Conclusion: The results of pollution indices show that the quality of soil in the study entirely deteriorated with respect to the DPR background. This indicates that the soil could not be used for any agricultural or domestic purposes.

“…From another perspective, heavy metals encompass metal elements with relatively high density and non-biodegradability (Mahammad & Usman, 2021). In addition, they are toxic to all organisms including humans, even at low concentrations (Islam et al, 2018;Joda et al, 2019), and non-degradable ). Bioaccumulation and biomagnification occur due to several physicochemical and biological factors.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of crude chicken manure and its processing on growth, biochemistry, quality, and risk assessment of Oreochromis niloticus, as this habit is used in several fish farms, without an adequate knowledge of its effect on fish quality. Four feeding regimes were applied, namely (1) crude chicken manure (CM), (2) processed chicken manure, (3) mixed diets [processed CM (45 days) + commercial fish diet (45 days)], and (4) commercial fish diet (control), for 90 days in glass aquaria. The fish fingerlings were acclimatized prior to the start of the experiment, followed by twice daily feeding and regular monitoring of water quality. The growth performance showed a positive trend from crude CM toward the processed CM as fish diets, leading to an increase in final weight and weight gain. The crude CM recorded the lowest final weight of 11.3g and weight gain of 10.2g, and the lowest survival percentage of 85.1%. Furthermore, mosthaematological parameters displayed the similar trend, except RBCs which showed insignificant changes. The immunological indicators such as WBCs showed anelevation starting from the dispersed diet (crude CM) toward the processed CM and mixed diets, then dropped down in the control trial, reflecting the normal trend against strange fish diets. Blood biochemistry, such as total protein and cholesterol, exhibited significant changes in the crude CM, processed CM, and the mixed trial compared to the control group. Regarding fish quality and nutrional values, fish muscle of fish fed crude CM contained the highest ash value of 7.58%, while it was 5.46% for those fed on the processed CM. However, fish muscles for mixed diets contained 5.19% ash and 62.19% protein. Human risk assessment was presented in this investigation by heavy metals determination. Pb value in fish muscles was 4.86mg/ kg for fish fed the crude CM; it was the highest one of all feeding trials. While, it decreased to 4.06mg/ kg after CM processing. The mixed feeding trial exhibited the lowest level of Arsenic (0.06mg/ kg). Processing chicken manure reduces its disadvantages by converting dispersed materials into pellets, thereby decreasing water pollution. It is not recommended to feed fish on pure crude chicken manure and pure processes of CM during the whole fish rearing, since fish need other nutrients and more energy to reduce the heavy metals formed due to chicken manure utilization. Utilizing a mixture of fish diet and processed chicken manure in fish farms, in controlled quantities, can mitigate environmental pollution. It's essential to implement processing procedures and ensure clean sourcing for optimal results. c 27±2.
