Heavy metals, the direct output of industrial activities, are discharged as effluents in aquatic systems, and has the potential to effect aquatic organisms like fish. However, potent biomarkers to assess the long term effects of such metals in fish system are not adequate.The present research, thus, intends to throw light on adverse effects of two heavy metals, one non essential (Cadmium) and other essential (Copper), on a locally available te...

Freshwater systems are rapidly becoming polluted with heavy metals such as lead and zinc, posing risk to human health and aquatic organisms. Fish tend to concentrate these metals in their tissues at chronic levels. Toxic effects of lead is known for centuries. Lead affects all organ systems, including nervous, digestive, and circulatory systems of animals. Lead displaces biologically important metals, such as calcium, zinc and magnesium, inter...
