Study was conducted to determine the heavy metal concentration in 5 freshwater fishes Heteropneustes fossilis, Clarias batrachus, Anabus testudineus, Oreochromis niloticus, and Mystus gulio during autumn and winter. Most widely eaten five freshwater fish species were selected for this purpose. These fish species were Among the heavy metals estimated in this study (Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn) the Cd, Cu, Zn were within the acceptable level but Cr and Pb concentration was above the maximum allowable limit. The Cd, Cr, Pb concentration in the fish muscle was higher in winter as compared to that of autumn but the Cu and Zn concentration was higher in autumn when compared to that of winter. Result of the present research indicates that the heavy metal concentration in fish muscle significantly varies with season. Some heavy metal were within the acceptable level in autumn season but above the maximum allowable limit in winter season. In H. fossilis, C. batrachus, and O. niloticus, heavy metal concentration was within the acceptable level but in A. testudineus and M. gulio heavy metal concentration was above the maximum allowable limit. So heavy metal concentration varied with season as well as with species of fish.

Abstract This research was undertaken to find out the levels of five heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) in the muscles of eight fish species from Epe Lagoon. The levels of heavy metals were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry after digestion of the samples using Kjldahl heating digester. The heavy metal concentrations among the fish species were statistically dissimilar (P < 0.5). The heavy metals of Pb, Fe, and Mn were above the FAO/WHO agreeable limits for human consumption.

Soil is a very influential medium of human survival. One of the parameters affecting soil quality is heavy metal concentration in soil, especially heavy metal of lead (Pb). High concentrations of Pb in the soil can treated with phytoremediation techniques. The aims of this research are: 1. To investigate the reduction of heavy metal Pb in the soil by phytoremediation, 2. To investigate the effectiveness of plants to absorb heavy metal Pb in the soil, and 3. To investigate the distribution of Pb concentration in the plant parts. The study variables used in this research are species variation of plants Sansevieria trifasciata and Celosia pulmosa. Phytoremediation test of Pb heavy metal contaminated soil was carried out for 4 weeks with sampling time on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28. The parameters analyzed of this research is Pb concentrations on soil and plant parts, namely roots, stems, leaf. Physical observations of plants were also carried out to support this research. The results show that the reactor with Sansevieria trifasciata had a higher effectiveness of removal of Pb in 81.08% (112 mg/kg) than Celosia pulmosa in 59.63% (293 mg/kg). The effectiveness of the absorption of Sansevieria trifasciata was higher 70.50% (418 mg/kg) than Celosia pulmosa 52.40% (311 mg/kg). The distribution of Pb concentrations in the plant of Sansevieria trifasciata and Celosia pulmosa is almost the same, with the most concentration being in the root part and at least scattered in the leaves of the plant.

Highlight Investigated in heavy metal bio-accumulation in red mullet (Mullus barbatus) and Common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) collected in Zliten Coast, Libya.Based on the samples collected, the muscle tissue of fish species may be considered suitable for human consumption.The metal concentration levels observed were in range of acceptable limits proposed by regulations of WHO and FAO.AbstractThe current study aimed to determine the heavy metal concentration like as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) in the liver, gills, gonad and muscles in two fish species (red mullet (Mullus barbatus), and common Pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) collected from the Zliten coast in Libya. The levels of heavy metals were determined by using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed that the concentration of heavy metals in the sampled fishes less than the permissible limits for human consumption. In addition, the bioaccumulation for Cu, Pb, Cd, and Hg by both fish species was: liver >gills > gonads > muscles, while Zn follows the sequence: gonads > liver > gills > muscles.

The research was intended to study the influence of human and industrial activities on the Orashi River and two bony fish (Clarias gariepinus and Tilapia nilotica). Three groups are observed to have impacted the environment – Oil/gas industries, tyre burning from abattoir, untreated human and animal waste from settlers and the abattoir.  The study was carried out from September 2019 to August 2020. The mean concentrations of the parameters studied in some samples were close to or exceeded World Health Organization (WHO) and Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv) recommended limits for drinking water and seafood. The results from this study have provided information on the heavy metals profile on the fish of the river.  The level of heavy metals in the muscle of Catfish and Tilapia showed a range of Cadmium in Catfish (1-3.9mg/kg and Tilapia (0.1-4.2mg/kg) with the highest level occurring in station 2 (3.47mg/kg for Catfish and 3.39mg/kg for Tilapia) which is high with regard to FAO 19835, FAO/WHO 10896, EEC 20054 permissible limit of 0.01mg/l and USEPA SQG (1mg/kg) level in seafood. The levels of essential heavy metals in fish muscle were Copper (Catfish-10.9-33mg/kg, Tilapia -17.3-40.6mg/kg), Iron (Catfish-1.0-2.5mg/kg, Tilapia -0.1-5.6mg/kg) were within the FAO 1983 permissible limit while Zinc (Catfish-22-213.2mg/kg) and Tilapia (30.1-196mg/kg) exceeds the limit in some stations. Catfish muscles recorded higher mean value (127.12mg/kg) for all heavy metals than tilapia (44.03mg/kg) and the sequence is Copper > Zinc > Iron > Cadmium. The concentration of heavy metals in Orashi River is in the sequence: Sediment > Catfish > Tilapia >Water. The Total Heavy metal concentration in muscle of Catfish (0.5-1.8mg/kg) and Tilapia (0.1-3.8mg/kg) were within permissible limit.
