“…Arsenic is broadly used as sodium arsenite to control submerged aquatic vegetation in freshwater ponds and lakes (Roy et al 2006). High Cr concentrations even in the Ilova village could be explained by the presence of fish ponds and farms, because it has been found that poultry and tannery wastes could be added as supplements in the fish feed, whereas K2Cr2O7 has an important role in cleaning (Sarker et al 2016). This trend was not detected in water samples, but suggested the influence of pellet feed that was not eaten by fish and therefore had enough time to settle in sediments.…”

“…The presence of heavy metals in the waters and sediments of fish farms comes from many sources including agricultural activities (Garcia et al, 2016) and fish feed (Das et al, 2017). Many studies (Mostafa et al, 2015;Sarker et al, 2016;Adeyemi and Ugah, 2017;Maurya et al, 2018;Junejo et al, 2019) have demonstrated anthropogenic pollution of water and sediments in fish farms by heavy metals. Moreover, the risks of toxicity to fish have been examined (Kalantzi et al, 2013).…”

“…This is in agreement with the report of [21] that rapid industrialization, coupled with technological advances in agriculture, has introduced various pollutants (synthetic and organic) into the aquatic ecosystems. The ranges of heavy metals in sediment in this study are higher than those reported in Badagry Creek [22] and in Bangladesh [23]. High concentration of heavy metals in E. crassipes could be attributed to the indiscriminate dumping of industrial and domestic wastes into surrounding water bodies [24,25].…”

Introduction: Heavy metal content of aquatic ecosystems is attracting global attention because of the ecological and human health risks associated with high levels of these metals in the environment. Aim: This study investigated the heavy metal content of various compartments of Ologe Lagoon in order to ascertain the safety of the consumption of fish and other resources from this water body. Materials and Methods: Samples were collected between June and November 2015, from the stations on monthly basis. Some physico-chemical parameters (alkalinity, salinity, pH, turbidity and hardness) and the levels of five heavy metals (Zn, Fe, Cu, Cd and Pb) in water, sediment, Eichhornia crassipes and a commercially important fish (Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) were studied using standard procedures. Results: The ranges of values of the metals in sediment were: Fe (431.10±109.75-2560.33±1101.32 mgkg–1), Zn (3.77±2.55-17.29±5.30 mgkg–1), Cu (7.45±6.55-35.21±33.79mgkg–1), Pb (5.98±2.29-12.89±4.22 mgkg–1) and Cd (0.31±0.31-0.88±0.21 mgkg–1). The concentrations of heavy metals (except Cu) in Eichhornia crassipes have exceeded FEPA and WHO maximum permissible limits. The mean concentrations of heavy metals (except Zn) in Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus were above the limit recommended by FEPA and WHO. Conclusion: The study showed that the metal load in the biota of Ologe Lagoon is increasing and this may be harmful to inhabitance of the community, who depend on the services provided by this aquatic ecosystem. Therefore, efforts should be made by all users of the water bodies especially the industries to treat their wastes before discharging them into these aquatic ecosystems.
