“…However, arsenic could have originated from a different sources from the other PTEs. Some sources of the PTEs include agricultural runoff [17], upstream mine tailings dams [2] and animal feeds and manure from the piggeries [47]. One study reported high concentrations of PTEs in pig manure and feed [48].…”

“…Thus, sediments and fish are used as indicators in assessing the ecological health of aquatic ecosystems. Fish muscle is generally used for health risk assessments because it is the main edible part [17][18][19]. Fish consumption poses a dietary exposure risk to humans because they potentially accumulate PTEs [19].…”

Trace elements in water, sediment and commonly consumed fish from a fish farm (NE Zimbabwe) and risk assessments

Limited information is available on trace element-water contamination and health risk assessment of small-scale intensive fish farming in low-income settings. Such information creates awareness among fish consumers, policy makers and the scientific community, regarding dietary exposure and health risks for not well-reported settings. The concentrations of potentially toxic trace elements in water, sediment and fish (T. rendalli, O. nitloticus and M. salmoides) were determined by spectrometry. The ecological and potential human health risks were assessed for Magobo dam, NE Zimbabwe, using the Hakanson ecological approach and the United States Environmental Protection Agency risk-assessment model, respectively. Concentrations in water and sediment appeared to increase in the order: cadmium < arsenic < lead. They restricted water use for irrigation and human consumption. The potential ecological risk factors for individual trace elements were below the index range for low risk. The potential ecological risk index for the dam (7.20) did not constitute ecological risk. The concentrations of trace elements in fish significantly varied with species, length and tissue (p < 0.05). The concentrations of arsenic and lead in gills, liver and muscle for O. niloticus and arsenic in M. salmoides were greater than international maximum permissible limits for fish. The target cancer risk due to dietary exposure to arsenic in the three fish species was in the range 10-6. There is no obvious cancer risk to the exposed population.

“…An unexpected, insufficient availability of insect's food can force fish species to migrate in search of food, where they might found the availability of greater revelation to predation. Similar to pesticides, herbicides can also trim down the reproductive success of fish species and other aquatic flora and fauna Maurya et al, 2016c;Maurya et al, 2019).…”

“…Some practices have caused environmental degradation. Community perception regarding the farmed Pradip Kumar Maurya et al (2019) fish species is that they are "cleaner" comparable to the wild fish species. On the other hand, various farmed fish have a much higher body burden of natural as well as man-made toxic production, e.g., in the form of antibiotics, insecticides, and pushy organic pollutants, than wild fish species.…”

In this chapter, we provide opinions of the latest clinical findings on health results and preference valuation of health dangers associated with insecticides and the position of benefit-value analysis in regulations associated with insecticides. Aquatic animals and aquatic sources are precious herbal belongings. Better productivity and protein yield as is offered by aquatic animals as compared to agriculture or animal husbandry and have much less power expenditure for food manufacturing. Besides protein, fish flesh consists of sufficient quantity of vitamins and minerals, which are vital for the boom. Agrochemicals publicity durations and levels, kinds of agrochemicals used (regarding toxicity and endurance), and diverse environmental circumstance of the areas are also factors for acute and chronic poisoning on the aquatic animal as well as human fitness and environment.
