 ABSTRACT

In the aquatic ecosystem, heavy metals are considered as the most important pollutants; it is present throughout the ecosystem and is detectable in critical amounts. In abandoned coal mine water the fishes were analysed for heavy metals. Heavy metals, such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Fe, Mn, and Zn, are the most important pollutants that affect the aquatic environment and fish. This study measures the accumulation of heavy metals in different body parts i.e, Liver, Kidney, Gills, and Muscles of Catla catla. 

Keywords:  Heavy metals, Bioaccumulation, Mining area, Aquatic ecosystem.
