Abstract

Accidental industrial spills may lead to a high concentration of toxic metals in the aquatic environment which may lead to acute and chronic toxicity. Of all aquatic species, fish are most sensitive to water borne contamination and are recognized as bioindicators for water quality monitoring. The present study was planned to enumerate the accumulation of heavy metals like Fe, Cu, Ni and Zn in various tissues of fish like muscles, gills, liver, and kidneys). Level of these metals in different organs of fish was determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Total proteins and levels of antioxidant enzymes, Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT) in the tissues of the Indian major carps were measured.
