Assessment of amphibian environment through Physicochemical analysis in Pakistan
Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Non-optimal water quality has dreadful effects on development and survival of amphibians, especially their eggs and larvae are more susceptible as cannot resist against harmful components of their aquatic habitat by moving away. Therefore Physico-chemical nature of amphibian habitats located in three Talukas of District Hyderabad was analyzed for the period of one year (2012) through parameters including pH, Electric Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Hardness (T-Hard), Total Alkalinity (T-Alk) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) via using specific instrumentation and titration methods. Environmental study indicated water contamination due to high level of all the parameters except pH which may make environment intolerable for amphibian fauna in whole study area.
