“…Additionally; Ghanem et al, (2016) declared that the minimum Zn and Fe in fish muscles was measured during summer, and the concentrations are 0.58 ± 0.54 and 4.66 ± 2.46 μg/g for Zn and Fe, respectively. The high concentration of Cd in fish muscles may be associated with the lifestyle of the species that spending more time at the bottom and or muds, (Nziku, 2013).…”

The pollution of the aquatic environment with heavy metals is one of the most principal water, aquatic life, and public health problems in the Rosetta Branch. There are annual increases in pollutants and heavy metals that flow into the River Nile by many sources; as agricultural and industrial activities as well as sewage wastewater. The present study aimed to evaluate the seasonal variation of heavy metals contents (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr, Fe, and Zn) in water and Nile tilapia fish samples, which collected from Rosetta Branch, River Nile and provide information regarding fish growth and water quality. This study was carried out along the Rosetta Branch at four sites (Kafr El-Zayat, Minyat Jenaj, Desouk, and Motobas) during 2016/2017 in four seasons. The results revealed that winter was the highest season in heavy metal concentration and summer was the lowest in heavy metals concentrations. Additionally, Kafr El-Zayat was the highest site in heavy metals concentration, and Minyat Jenaj was the lowest. In water samples, Hg was higher than the permissible limit in all season and sites. Moreover, Pb concentration was higher than the allowable limit in all seasons and sites except summer; Cd concentration was higher than the acceptable limit in autumn and winter seasons. Concerning fish samples, heavy metals concentrations in gills were much higher than that of the muscles. In Desouk and Motobas sites, the concentration of Pb in muscles was higher than the permissible limit in autumn and winter seasons. The concentration of Cd in muscles was higher than the permissible limit in autumn at Kafr El-zayat; spring season gave the highest values of HSI comparing to other seasons.

Background: Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing humanity in the 20 th century and still require great efforts at all levels. This is especially rivers are the main sources for drinking and irrigation.Objective: The present study was aimed to investigate some physicochemical parameters in the water at different sites of El-Bagouria Canal, El-Menoufia Governorate during the period of study. Materials and methods:Water samples were collected seasonally from the four stations during the year and stored for the final examination. Environmental factors and heavy metals concentrations were determined by using specific methods.Results: Spring showed the highest value of pH and turbidity, while autumn and winter showed the highest levels of electric conductivity, total dissolved solids, and chloride. However, alkalinity and total hardness were peaked during autumn. Statistically, there is strong positive correlation between pH, alkalinity with water temperatures, turbidity, (TDS) and total hardness with pH. The results indicated that the maximum levels of the concentrations of studied heavy metals in water were recorded during the hot season compared to the cold seasons. Correlation coefficient indicated that, a positive correlation between cadmium concentration in the water with lead, plus positive correlation between lead, copper with iron were present. Conclusion:It could be concluded that increased levels of physicochemical factors and heavy metal concentrations may pose a high risk to aquatic organisms and human health. So, the present study shows that precautionary measures must be taken to reduce pollution at the freshwater canals in the future.

The Nile receives a large amount of agricultural, domestic and mostly untreated manure industrial wastewaters (Zyadah, 1996;Abdo, 2004;El-Amawy, 2016 andGhanem et al, 2016).El-Menoufia Governorate is one of the central parts of the Nile Delta and extends along a wide area of cultivated lands nearly 2500 km 2 . The area is bordered to the west by the Rosetta branch and to the east by the Damietta branch.…”

“…In addition, discharge of liquid or solid wastes with different types of contaminants (nutrients, trace metals, suspended solids, salts and oxygenrequiring materials) in the geological environment causes deterioration of groundwater (Hamza and Mason, 2004;Zeidan, et al, 2015;El-Amawy, 2016 andAzab et al, 2019). Untreated or poorly treated for sewage, heavy metals and other pollutants are discharged into the Nile Delta canal system and are discharged along with sewage and agriculture wastes into the northern delta lakes and their associated wetlands (Siegel, 1995).…”

The present study was aimed to determine the concentrations of some heavy metals in the sediment of different sites in El-Bagouria Canal at El-Menoufia Governorate during the year from autumn, 2019 to summer, 2020. Sediment and fish (Chrysichthys rueppelli) samples were collected seasonally during the study period .The present study exhibited that, all studied metals were showed a higher level in the sediment during the cold weather (autumn and winter) except lead and zinc. Results indicated differences in some heavy metal accumulations in different tissues of studied fish, Chrysichthys rueppelli with an increasing rate in the liver during autumn and winter. Furthermore, gonads showed a higher level of Mn and Zn during autumn and winter. The correlation coefficient of some heavy metals between sediment and target organs indicated this, a strong positive correlation between zinc concentrations in sediment and liver. However, there is a negative correlation between all studied heavy metals concentrations in the sediment and muscles.The data revealed that the highest values of the biosedimentation factor were observed during the winter except for manganese which increased in the spring, with an aspect for all equal to or greater than 1 (BSAF≥1). This means that there is almost predangerous bioaccumulation of these metals in fish. This could be attributed to the content of metals in the substrate .The increasing rates of biosedimentation factors in the target organs indicate the high risk to fish health and human consumption. So, the present study shows that more of precautionary measures must be taken to reduce heavy metal pollution in the future.
