The present study was carried out to determine the level of bioaccumulation of some heavy metals namely Copper (Cu), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr) and Lead (Pb) in freshwater fish Stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis Bloch, 1794) and freshwater Mussel (Lamellidens corrianus Lia, 1834) collected from Turag river during the months of October to December 2010. The accumulation levels were then compared with the concentration levels of sediments and water of the same river. In H. fossilis the average bioaccumulations were Cu 13.27 ± 2.47 mg/kg ; Cd 0.215 ± 0.208 mg/kg ; Cr 1.46 ± 0.431 mg/kg and Pb 0 mg/kg in dry weight while Cu 31.90 ± 6.202 mg/kg ; Cd 0.182 ± 0.025 mg/kg ; Cr 0.0367 ± 0.039 mg/kg and Pb 3.865 ± 1.041 mg/kg in dry weight of L. corrianus. Average concentration of metals in sediments of Turag river were Cu 54.95 ± 9.218 mg/kg ; Cd 0.05 ± 0.011 mg/kg ; Cr 5.575 ± 0.608 mg/kg and Pb 34.89 ± 5.554 mg/kg in dry weight and in water these levels were Cu 0.0253 ± 0.024 ppm ; Cd 0.0012 ± 0.001 ppm ; Cr 0.2335 ± 0.044 ppm and Pb 0.1169 ± 0.041 ppm. The bioaccumulation level of heavy metals in Turag river were higher than the FAO approved standard level. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jasbs.v39i2.17862 J. Asiat. Soc.

Freshwater bivalves, Lamellidens corrianus were exposed to acute dose of trimethoprim one of the ingredients of sulpha drug (174.80PPM) and Parreysia cylindrica (136.29PPM) up to 96 hours and chronic dose to Lamellidens corrianus of the same antibiotics (34.96 PPM) and to Parreysia cylindrica was (27.25 PPM) up to 21 days.  After 24 and 96 hours of acute treatment and 7, 14 and 21 days of chronic treatment, the mantle, gills, foot, ovary, testis, digestive glands and whole body of the bivalves were separated, dried in the oven and their glycogen contents were estimated.Except gills, trimethoprim reduced the glycogen contents from most of the tissues of L. corrianus while in Parreysia cylindrica overall reduction in the glycogen depot was observed.  The most affected tissue in which the great depletion observed was digestive glands.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v6i1.5767

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic (PAGE) technique was used to examine the esterase pattern of Ctenidia, Hepatopancreas, Hemolymph, Intestine, Mantle. Foot of the Lamellidens corrianus. The zymograms revealed the varied pattern of esterase both in number and type. This varied pattern suggested several roles for these enzymes present in different tissues.
