Environmental pollution is a worldwide problem; heavy metals constitute one of the most important pollutant challenges. The progress of industry has led to increased emission of pollutants into ecosystem. Environmental pollution can cause poisoning, diseases and even death to fish. Heavy metal contamination has gradually become a very much important significant global issue due to its continual existence in the environment and bioaccumulation in the ecosystems, posing deleterious risks to human health. Mercury contamination is amongst the most significant and universal pollution problems in the aquatic medium It primarily occurs in the aquatic environment In industries, huge amounts of effluents containing mercury are discharged as a result of poor industrial operations, fertilizer industry, landfill leaching, and carbon combustion. Dead zones, otherwise termed as zones of oxygen-depleted water, have been reported to be the repository of huge deposits of inorganic mercury. Fish are one of the most widely distributed organisms in the aquatic environment and, being susceptible to metal contamination, may reflect the extent of the biological effects of metal pollution in waters. The effect of mercury chloride on protein and amino acid contents of gill, liver and kidney of freshwater fish, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix have been studied. The fish were exposed to sublethal concentrations of mewrcury chloride 1/5th (high), 1/10th (medium) and 1/15th (low) of the 96 hour LC50 for the period of 10, 20 and 30 days. All the sublethal concentrations of mercury chloride exposed fish for the period of 10. 20 and 30 days showed decrease the protein and increase the amino acid content in gill, liver and kidney of Hypophthalmichthys molitrix The significant alterations showed toxic effect of heavy metal mercury chloride at biochemical levels.
