“…Studies showed that Cd and Cu may affect the enzyme activity and response in the cytochrome of the liver of fish in low concentrations (4). The reports revealed that the inhibitory potency of the metals on the activity of enzymes could have the following order: Cd>Ni>Cu>Zn>Pb (3).…”

“…However, the anthropogenic and natural sources of toxic metals are contaminating water at the surface or underground. These sources can be released from mine disposals, industrial effluent discharge, domestic waste water, agricultural evacuations, precipitation of air-borne contaminants, and petrol or liquid oil spillage into the water bodies (3,4). Consequently, human health is threatened as a result of polluted water and also consumption of fish grown in such a contaminated environment.…”

The objective of the present study was to investigate the concentration of some heavy metals in the dorsal muscle, gills, and liver of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) from the Dukan lake, Suleimani, Iraq, and its relationship with fish protein content. The sampling was carried out in both the summer and winter seasons of 2021. Fish samples were collected from the water of Dukan lake. Biometry analysis and determining of protein content were carried out. Moreover, the heavy metal concentrations were measured in different tissues and organs of fish (the dorsal muscle, gills, and liver). The metal concentration varied considerably among different tissues and organs. Overall, the mean metal concentration revealed an order of Zn > Fe > Cr > Cd > Cu > As > Pb. The mean concentrations of Zn and Pb were determined as the maximum and minimum concentrations of metals in the fish organs, respectively. Metal accumulation was higher in the gills and liver than in the muscle (except Cr). The content of protein showed a close relationship with some of the metal concentrations. The concentrations of metals like As, Cd, and Cu were higher during the summer than in the winter, except for Cr and Fe. Due to the concerns related to the adverse effects of heavy metals in fish meat on human health, investigation of the concentration of pollution and regular monitoring of the physicochemical and heavy metal contents and its relationship with those measured in fish is strongly recommended.

“…The changes in the total weight and standard length at chronic Pb and Cd exhibit negative effects on growth during the experimental period as compared with the control group. This reduction in growth is attributed to the poor utilization of food during the exposure period (Cai et al, 2020;Taslima et al, 2022). It was observed that treated fish lost portability and food conversion with the passage of time (Ayegbusi et al, 2018;Fazio et al, 2022).…”

“…Metals can be categorized in two classes: physiologically essential and non-essential. The metals like tin (Sn), aluminum (Al), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) have no records of specialized biological roles, hence their toxicity increases with increasing concentration (Kumar et al, 2021;Taslima et al, 2022). Essential metals are generally responsible for the growth and feed utilization in fish, but when their maximum limit exceeds, they disrupt the normal physiological and ecological systems in the aquatic environment (Ediagbonya et al, 2022).…”

Heavy metals have a high density that is harmful even in low quantity. These metals enter aquatic habitats through various sources, home effluents, including industrial waste, atmospheric sources, and other metal-based businesses, as well as E-Waste. Heavy metal pollution is responsible for degenerating aquatic species, creating physical abnormalities in creatures and contaminating the aquatic environment. These poisonous heavy metals cause a variety of fish ailments like decrease in hatching rate, teratogenesis and bioaccumulation in the tissues etc. The contamination of heavy metals in aquatic bodies and ecosystems has a significant influence on the food chain. Because fish people consume fish, it has an indirect impact on their health. These heavy metals also have a higher impact on the environment because they remain for longer periods and have bio-accumulative capabilities, leading water health to deteriorate. This study offers insight into the disruption of fish and human physiology, their reproductive ability by heavy metals. This review provides baseline data on the heavy metals and aquatic environment, especially fish and human health. The data will increase sensitivity to preventing and managing aquatic environmental pollution, particularly heavy metal contamination.
