Assessing the Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metal in Freshwater Fishes at Gingee River Near Puducherry, India
An investigation was made on the bioaccumulation of heavy metals, mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) in fishes of the Gingee river at Vadamangalam and Ariankuppam in Puducherry region. Results revealed that the concentration of the heavy metals was higher in sediments than that of water. There is also seasonal variation in heavy metal concentrations at the sites. Fishes of the river showed bioaccumulation of heavy metals. The concentration of metals was found in the order as sediment > fishes > water.
