Heavy metals concentration in tissues of the Eaurasian minnow Phoxinus phoxinus from the Czarna Orawa River system, Poland
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Concentration of the four heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd) in tissues of the Eurasian minnow Phoxinus phoxinus from Polish part of the Czarna Orawa River system was investigated using the AAS method. Significant differences among sampling sites were recorded, and visible trend was observed, i.e. concentrations of these metals arose from the upper most to the lower most site. Anthropogenic pollution of the river is inferred from these data. Urgent water treatment and prevention are needed to protect environment of this submontane river.
