A bu Za'baal Lakes are man-made lakes, formed by the fracture apd extract of rocks. The lakes, as other inland closed basins. receive their water from the ground and seepage waters. They consist of three lakes and another filling-phase lake. In the present study, the concentrations of some heavy metals {Fe. Zn. Mn. Pb. Cu and Cd) in water and organs (muscles, gills, liver and kidney) of O. niloticus. T, zillii and C. iazera collected from Abu Za'baai Lakes were measured during winter. 2004. The effects of the tested metals on the total protein and total lipid contents in the muscle and liver and on the histological structures of the gills. liver and kidneys of fish were studied.The present results showed that the levels of Fe. Zn. Mn. Pb. Cu and Cd in the water of Abu Za'baal lakes ranged between 3.22-6.0L 0.21-1.50. 0.67-1.64. 0.62-1.67. 0.13-0.20 and 0.03-0.06 mc/L respectively. The highest \ allies of metals were reported in the third lake, while their lowest values were in the first one.It was found that the metals were accumulated in different organs of the studied fish b> various levels. The concentration of the tested metals in different organs of (I niloticus and T zillii followed a sequence of: Fe. /n. Mn. Pb and Cd in muscles < gills < liver < kidnevs. however. Cu in muscles • uills < kidnevs < liver for (). nilolicus and in gills ■■ muscles ■ kidneys < liver for T. zillii. On the other hand, in C lazcra. Fe and Cu were in muscles < gills < kidneys < liver.

“…Ninety-five percent of mullet were 36cm and 398g or less (the largest was 50cm and 905g), while snook reached 70cm and 3550g. More probably, increase or decrease (or absence of relationship) of metal concentration with size in a particular environment is both metal-specific and taxa-specific (e.g., Mears and Eisler, 1977). Temporal variations in trace metal concentrations are frequently attributed to the effects of seasonality.…”

“…Fish are notorious for their ability to concentrate heavy metals in their tissues. The matals exist most probably as cationic form in water (Fe , Mn , Zn , pb , Cu ) and tend to form ionic complexes and accumulate in the internal organs of fish (Mears and Eister , 1977). The present results showed that , the concentrations of heavy metals in the studied muscles of the fish ranged between 1.094 -2.073 , 0.086 -0.115 , 0.316 -0.381 , 0.005 -0.146 and 0.044 -0.250 for Fe , Mn , Zn , pb and Cu, respectively .…”

his study was performed to evaluate agricultural and industrial wastes water with respect to the potentially some toxic metals on histopathological alterations in kidney and liver of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from El-Rahawy drain at different seasons. Samples of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were collected seasonally (12 fish / season) from each site. Fish total length and total weight were from 13.5 to 26.1 cm and from 50 to 315 g, respectively The present results indicated that, the heavy metals due to pollution, increased in tissue of fish caught from the drain. The distribution of heavy metals (Iron , Manganese , zinc , lead and copper) concentrations in water were estimated during four successive seasons were found to be , Fe (0.
