“…Consequently the toxic residue of pesticide occurring in food commodities and drinking water have created hue and cry among the environmentalists due to their possible health hazards through bioaccumulation. Pesticidal chemicals are introduced into water systems from agricultural run off (Scott et al 1999), sewage treatment plants (Honnen et al 2001), industrial effluents or accidental spills (Lambert 1997). The presence of OC pesticides even at very low concentration in water is undesirable for long time consumption by wild life (Bindra 1972) and may be toxic to fish (Brown 1979).…”

“…The presence and accumulation of OC pesticides like DDT, HCH, etc. in various aquatic resources is well documented including river water in India (Halder et al 1989(Halder et al , 1990Kole and Bagchi 1995;Agnihotri et al 1994;Mohapatra et al 1995) and abroad (Eichelberger and Lichtenberg 1971;Badawy 1998;Honnen et al 2001;Rovedatti et al 2001;Schulz 2001).…”

An investigation was conducted from 2001 to 2005 for determining the residual concentration of five pesticides, viz., total-HCH, total-DDT, total-Endosulfan, Dimethoate and Malathion in fish samples collected from various points of the river Ganga. Fish samples were analyzed for pesticide residues using standard laboratory procedures by GC method. It was found that total-HCH concentration remains above the MRL values for maximum number of times in comparison to four other pesticides. The pesticide contamination to fish may be due to indiscriminate discharge of polluted and untreated sewage-sludge to the river. The pesticide contents in some places are alarming. Thus proper care, maintenance, treatment and disposal of sewage water and sludge are most vital and should be the prime thrust for the nation.

Influence of urbanization on stream fish assemblages in three microbasins in the Upper Paraná River Basin

The colonization pattern of fish assemblages in streams is often studied in the context of environmental filters. On the other hand, when fish assemblages are subjected to anthropogenic effects, variables associated with environmental quality assume more importance. Therefore, this work evaluated the richness and composition of fish from streams sampled at different urbanization levels, aiming to determine any direct effects on the structure of fish assemblages. To accomplish this, samples were collected from 2003 to 2011 at 31 sites distributed among 3 microbasins in the Rio Ivinhema Basin, Alto Rio Paraná. Based on environmental variables, physicochemical of the water and analysis of the use and occupation of the soil, the microbasins were classified into different urbanization levels (low, medium and high). A total of 4,320 individuals were sampled, out of which 57 fish species were recorded. Sampled sites with medium urbanization level presented higher richness compared to sampled sites with high urbanization level which presented lower richness. Species richness in these sites was explained mainly by water temperature and water velocity. Results confirmed that urbanization does directly affect environmental integrity, which, in turn, can lead to the homogenization of stream assemblages.
