Some Studies on Heavy Metal Concentration in Aquaculture Ponds of Bhimavaram Mandal, Andhra Pradesh, India
Main Article Content
Abstract
Heavy metal pollution in aquaculture farms through the food chain has a significant impact on the ecosystem and human health, which may be dangerous as a result of improper management, improper waste management, and excessive use of artificial feed to increase performance and increase profits. Optimum fish production strongly depends on the physical, chemical and biological properties of water. Therefore, successful fishpond management requires a deep understanding of water quality. This study was conducted to assess heavy metal contamination in water samples of five selected aquaculture ponds located in and around Upputeru Reserve Forest in Bhimavaram mandal of West Godavari District. The ten heavy metals analyzed are cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and iron (iron). Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was adopted for the analysis of heavy metals. Most of these values were well below the standards given for drinking (BIS, WHO, EU, US EPA) and pond aquaculture purposes. Although metal levels did not exceed the threshold limit, appropriate measures and continuous monitoring are recommended to reduce heavy metal contamination in farms and prevent deterioration of water qualityupputeru reserve forest
