Use of Fish as Bio-indicator of the Effects of Heavy Metals Pollution
Open accessAbstract
The present review gives a brief account of the toxic effects of heavy metals on fish.In aquatic ecosystem, heavy metals are considered as the most important pollutants, since they are present throughout the ecosystem and are detectable in critical amounts.Heavy metals, such as mercury, cadmium, copper, lead and zinc are of the most important pollutants which effect aquatic environment and fish.They are extremely dangerous for the health of fish.Most of these metals are characterized by being accumulated in tissues, and lead to the poisoning of fish.These metals can effectively influence the vital operations and reproduction of fish; weaken the immune system, and induce pathological changes.As such, fish are used as bio-indictors, playing an important role in monitoring heavy metals pollution.Finally, some recommendations are given to treatment of different kinds of wastewaters, sewage and agricultural wastes before discharge into the aquatic systems.Also, enforcement of laws and legislations regarding the protection of aquatic environments must be taken into consideration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
