“…Studies carried out with various fish species have shown that metal accumulation is generally more pronounced in the liver and gills than in muscle, as active metabolite organs accumulate higher amounts of trace metals than muscle (Karadede-Akin and Ü nlü 2007;Al-Yousuf et al 2000). Similar results were reported in previous studies comparing metal concentrations in muscle to others tissues (Norouzi et al 2012;El-Moselhy et al 2014;Dwivedi et al 2015).…”

Contamination of trace metals in fish is regarded as a major crisis globally, with a large share in many developing countries. On the south coast of Sfax (Tunisia), concentrations of seven trace metals, i.e., cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn), were evaluated in Diplodus annularis. The sampling was conducted during December 2014. The Cd and Zn concentrations were higher than the FAO/WHO and WHO permissible limits in all tissues, while Fe and Pb concentrations were higher than the WHO permissible limits in the gills and/or liver. The levels of metal accumulation varied between tissues: liver [ gills [ muscle. The total target hazard quotient (THQ) through consumption of fish, calculated by adding the individual THQs, was above 1, indicating that there is significant potential health risk associated with the consumption of D. annularis. Therefore, intake of sparaillon for the general population is a matter of concern.

The water quality of rivers is an issue of serious concern today. Rivers are heavily impacted due to their use for carrying off the industrial, municipal, agricultural and domestic effluents. Water samples were collected for the present study from the Ganga River at Kanpur, Allahabad and Varanasi sites, during the period 2011-2012. The minimum temperature (17°C) was recorded in winter season. The pH, TDS, EC, sulphate, phosphate, nitrate, BOD and COD values exhibited their minimum at Allahabad site. The chloride and dissolved oxygen were recorded minimum at Kanpur site while alkalinity and total hardness had their lowest values at Varanasi site. The water quality of the Kanpur site was very poor compared to Varanasi and Allahabad sites. However, the Ganga river waters could host some tolerant fish species such as the exotic Cyprinus carpio and Oreochromis niloticus and also catfishes. All these species are very hardy, in respect of poor water quality, thus they (exotic species) have powerfully invaded in degraded systems worldwide.

“…Ecosystem functioning has also been affected by altering the size composition in functional sets. These fishes have developed their own strategy to survive with the poor water quality [69][70][71][72].…”
