“…Several studies reported the bioaccumulation of Cr in the different organs ( Table 1 ) of Cyprinus carpio [ 110 , 111 ], Carassius auratus [ 112 ], O. aureus [ 113 ], and Cirrhinus mrigala [ 109 ]. Cr toxicity disturbs the physiological functions of fish and results in various allergic as well as organ-system failure [ 5 , 114 , 115 , 116 , 117 ]. Additionally, Cr toxicity significantly alters the protein, lipid, and glycogen content in the muscle, liver, and gills of Labeo rohita [ 118 ] and C. mrigala [ 119 ], causes hepatic stress in C. auratus [ 120 ], disturbs the functions of important organs (liver, kidney) of Ctenopharyngodon idella [ 121 ], and causes abnormal functions of the endocrine system of several freshwater fish species [ 68 ].…”

“…Heavy metal contamination in aquatic water bodies is a major concern that has a serious impact on the associated organisms, especially fish [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Heavy metals naturally exist in the environment, but excessive application in different industries for several purposes has significantly altered the ecological system [ 4 ] by the excessive discharge of these metals into the soil and aquatic systems [ 5 , 6 ]. Generally, anthropogenic activities, such as the culture of crop foods, erosion from agricultural fields, and the discharge of industrial and household wastes, are considered main sources of heavy metals in aquatic systems [ 7 , 8 ].…”

Heavy metals, the most potent contaminants of the environment, are discharged into the aquatic ecosystems through the effluents of several industries, resulting in serious aquatic pollution. This type of severe heavy metal contamination in aquaculture systems has attracted great attention throughout the world. These toxic heavy metals are transmitted into the food chain through their bioaccumulation in different tissues of aquatic species and have aroused serious public health concerns. Heavy metal toxicity negatively affects the growth, reproduction, and physiology of fish, which is threatening the sustainable development of the aquaculture sector. Recently, several techniques, such as adsorption, physio-biochemical, molecular, and phytoremediation mechanisms have been successfully applied to reduce the toxicants in the environment. Microorganisms, especially several bacterial species, play a key role in this bioremediation process. In this context, the present review summarizes the bioaccumulation of different heavy metals into fishes, their toxic effects, and possible bioremediation techniques to protect the fishes from heavy metal contamination. Additionally, this paper discusses existing strategies to bioremediate heavy metals from aquatic ecosystems and the scope of genetic and molecular approaches for the effective bioremediation of heavy metals.

“…The industrial belt occupies an area of about 347.88 hector, is located in south of Ulhas River. There are many small/ medium/ large scale agrochemicals, fine chemicals, dyes manufacturing, textile, engineering, pharmaceutical, metallurgical and paint manufacturing industries located in this industrial belt, which are contributing heavy pollution in the surrounding area [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. About 14 MLD of industrial effluent is generated from the industrial area which is regularly discharged through open drainages into the nearby flowing Ulhas River [39].…”

Dombivli city is one of the most industrialized cities situated near Mumbai. The increase in industries, has led to increase in the discharge of industrial waste effluents from the industrial belt into the Ulhas River, due to improper environmental planning. This day by day increasing tremendous pollution load has prompted us to carry the systematic and detailed study on the heavy metal content in water of Ulhas River. The study was conducted over a period of two years i.e. in 2012 and 2013. The study was carried out along the banks of Ulhas River, near the discharge of effluents from Dombivli Industrial belt Phase I and Phase II. The sampling points were identified accordingly. The analysis for the majority of the toxic heavy metals like Mercury (Hg), Zinc (Zn) and Iron (Fe) in water samples was done. The results of our study indicated that there is a need to conduct systematic and regular monitoring of pollution level along the Ulhas River with an intention to obtain the scientific data on heavy metal content in the river water. Such data will be useful to improve the industrial waste treatment technology adopted along the Dombivli industrial belt.

ABSTRACT. Ulhas River which is one of the most polluted rivers of Mumbai receives heavy pollution load from the nearby Dombivali industrial belt. Previous studies reported along the Dombivali industrial belt has indicated that the pollution level is so much alarming that it has created threat to nearby residential areas and also to the Ulhas River flowing in the outskirts of the Dombivali City. It is feared that the toxic chemicals present in the industrial waste might affect the sediment ecosystem of the river. Hence this has provoked us to carry the systematic and detailed study of physico chemical properties of the sediment samples collected along the Ulhas River. The study was done during the year 2012 and 2013, at the sites where the industrial discharge from Dombivli industrial belt Phase I and Phase II joins the Ulhas River. The study was performed to understand the physico chemical properties such as pH, alkalinity, chloride and phosphates. Results of the study reveal that there is an urgent requirement for systematic and regular monitoring of pollution level along the Ulhas River which will further help in improving the industrial waste treatment procedure adopted, along the Dombivli industrial belt. It is expected that such scientific studies will be useful to determine the extent of pollution control measures required in order to avoid long term irreparable damage to the Ulhas River ecosystem.
