The Difference

We analyzed the concentrations of zinc, copper, and lead in the muscle of two commercially important finfish species namely, Pampus argenteus and Scatophagus argus in and around the World Heritage site of Indian Sundarbans from 8th to 15th July 2021 using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The sequence of bioaccumulation of the selected metals is as per the order Zn > Cu > Pb irrespective of the species. The degree of metal accumulation showed variation between the species with the highest value in Scatophagus argus followed by Pampus argenteus, which may be related to the difference in their food habit or degree of exposure to ambient media contaminated with heavy metals.

Heavy metals have a great ecological significance due to their toxicity and accumulative behavior. The geoaccumulation index (Igeo) in 12 stations in the UNESCO declared World Heritage Site- Indian Sundarbans estuarine region (i.e Kakdwip, Harinbari, Chemaguri, Sagar South, Lothian island, Jambu island, Frasergunge, Gosaba, Chotomollakhali, Bali island, Sajnekhali and Bagmara) were calculated for the year 2016. The sediment pollution was investigated by following the concentration of 3 heavy metals namely copper, lead and cadmium. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) was used for analysis. According to the geoaccumulation index (Igeo) the results of all the 10 stations were analyzed and discussed in details.
