“…However, people of the study area also thought that water becomes more turbid, odorous and less tasty for shrimp cultivation. High levels of turbidity over long periods can greatly diminish the health and productivity of the pond water ecosystem in the coastal area (Elmanama, 2006). In this area, crop cannot grow properly due to high saline condition.…”

Socio-economic and environmental impacts analysis of shrimp (Paeneus monodon) farming in the gher area of Bagerhat District is an important aspect where shrimp cultivation increased over the years. An investigation was conducted to evaluate the present socio-economic status as well as to investigate the soil and water quality of the study area. This study has been carried out at ten villages in five Upazilla (Bagerhat Sadar, Rampal, Mangla, Chitalmari and Fakirhat) of Bagerhat District. The socio-economic impact was investigated using questionnaire survey and environmental impact was assessed by analyzing water and soil quality. The soil and water samples were collected during the period of January to March 2013. Maximum people of this study area were involved in shrimp culture because soil is not suitable for agricultural crops due to high salinity percentage. Annual family income of maximum number (45%) of farmers was greater than 200000 taka per year from shrimp culture. All the soil p H value was neutral to slightly alkaline. Shrimp culture has no noticeable impact on soil quality. On the other hand, shrimp culture has some negative impacts on water quality such as, the range of K and Na in water has been increased and the range of Ca has been decreased than normal range. However, it is very minor compared to annual income from this culture. Therefore, the people of this region may involve more in shrimp culture.

“…Province-SOTE, 2002). Studies have shown that faecal coliforms, more specifically E. coli, increases after a rainfall but thereafter, decrease as a result of the process of sedimentation (Webster et al, 2004;Chigbu et al, 2005;Elmanama et al, 2005). The levels of bacterial contamination in all the five river catchments were widespread during winter and summer seasons.…”

“…The degree of river water pollution varies according to the quantity and quality of the pollutant. Pollution presents a major health risk for recreational and domestic use of water (Elmanama et al, 2005). Contamination of soil and surface waters with faecal material enhances the risk of human exposure to pathogenic enteric bacteria of intestinal origin (Shehane et al, 2005).…”

The aim of this study was to examine and compare the levels of bacterial contamination in water obtained from the five river catchments in the North West Province with water quality guidelines. A total of 54 water samples collected during winter and summer seasons were cultured on m-FC and m-Endo agar plates using membrane filtration, and on Plate Count and Eosin Methylene Blue agar plates using spread-plate techniques. Biochemical characterisation of suspected Escherichia coli and Klebsiella isolates by Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) and serotyping using E. coli poly D1-D8 and Klebsiella capsular Types 1-6 antisera were performed for confirmatory identification. Results showed significantly high levels of contamination when using heterotrophic, total and faecal coliform counts as an indicator in all catchments in summer and winter seasons. In winter season, E. coli and Klebsiella were maximal in the Marico and Molopo catchment with 75 and 95% prevalence, respectively. The Crocodile and Elands and Marico and Hex catchments during summer also showed high levels of E. coli (63%) and Klebsiella (76%) contamination, respectively. Contamination levels were widespread and above the South African Department of Water Affairs' guidelines for domestic, recreational and irrigation water were used. The consumption of such untreated water sources directly or indirectly, poses a health risk to consumers. Strict measures to ensure the discharge of properly treated effluent into the rivers should be put in place, to minimise the spread of potential pathogenic bacteria and the occurrence of water borne disease outbreaks.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of sewage pollution on the fish assemblages found in the Klang River. Samples were collected between July 2012 and April 2013 with a total of 102 specimens belonging to 5 freshwater fish species, Puntius hexazona, Betta livida, Neohomaloptera johorensis, Parosphromenus harveyi and the dominant species, Rasbora sumatrana, with the highest dominance value (Di%=36.66). Multiregression revealed a statistically insignificant relationship among the physical, chemical and biochemical parameters of water and sediment and Puntius hexazona, Betta livida, Neohomaloptera johorensis and Parosphromenus harveyi. Based on multiple regression tests, a significant relationship with R2 = 92.2% and F= 7.876 (p= 0.000) was found between six water and sediment quality constituents and the numbers of Rasbora sumatrana this species at the stations studied at Site 8. On the other hand, water temperature (β= -0.114; t= -2.811 (p= 0.016)); sediment organic matter (β= -0.011; t= -2.406 (p= 0.033)) and water phosphorus (PO4) (β= 0.323; t= 3.444 (p= 0.005)) were found to be the most important water and sediment parameters effecting Rasbora sumatrana.
