The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of marble industry effluents on the accumulation of heavy metals in selected tissues of mahaseer (Tor putitora) in Barandu River. Fish samples were collected from three selected sites (upstream (US), effluents/industrial (IS), and downstream (DS) sites) on monthly basis for 8 months. Heavy meta...

In a recently published study we observed that effluents from marble industry affected physicochemical characteristics of River Barandu in District Buner, Pakistan. These changes in water quality due to marble effluents may affect fish community. The present study was therefore conducted to evaluate the impacts of marble industry effluents on fish...

Industries play an important role in improving the living standard but at the same time cause several environmental problems. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of industries on the quality of environment. In the present study, the impact of marble industry effluents on water and sediment quality of Barandu River in Buner District, P...

The present study was under taken to explore the potential of Acacia nilotica L and Ricinus communis L as antimicrobial agents in relation with various important bio-molecules and to check their correlation as antimicrobial agent. In present study water and methanol extract (20%) of different parts of A. nilotica and R. communis showed good inhibit...

Gill epithelium is a major site of gaseous exchange. The aim of the present study was to detect heavy metals content from the gills of L. rohita H., C. catla H., and C. mrigala H., respectively, from Keenjhar Lake water and to evaluate the histological alterations from the gills, due to the accumulation of waterborne toxicants. Heavy metals content...

Limnological studies of Keenjhar Lake were carried out during January 2003 to December 2005. The present study deals with physico -chemical parameters such as, temperature, pH, alkalinity, chlorides, conductivity, total dissolve solids, turbidity, dissolve oxygen, calcium and magnesium. The maximum and minimum range of physico -chemical properties...

This study of the abundance and distribution of lead in water and freshwater fish Catla catla (Ham.) from Keenjhar Lake was conducted during January 2003 to December 2005. The lead content was determined in water and in muscle, gill and liver tissue of Catla catla (Ham.) by using a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The lead concentra...

Present study deals with fish diversity and physico-chemical properties of Keenjhar Lake. 51 species were recorded during, January to December 2005 higher than that of previous observations. Various physico-chemical properties such as (Temperature, pH, Alkanity, D.

Keenjhar Lake is an artificial and tropical lake. It is located almost 120 km from Karachi; Keenjhar Lake is essential for diverse aspects such as, supply of drinking water, irrigation and wild life intention. Adverse effects of physicochemical parameters on aquatic ecosystem may occur at all levels of biological communities can be wide-ranging or...
