Description:
The effect of temperature, pH and trace elements concentration in the ambient water on the uptake and accumulation of Cu, Zn, Ni and Pb in various organs of fish and parts of
aquatic plants of Edku Lake were studied. It was found that higher water temperature and
lower pH during summer increased the rates of trace metals uptake by the most common
fish species Oreochromis niloticus. The concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Ni in the various organs of fish were affected by the concentrations of these elements in the water. Cu, Zn, Ni and Pb attained higher concentrations in the roots of Eichormia crassipes if compared with their concentrations in the other parts of this aquatic plant. Sex of fish can be considered as an important factor affecting the accumulation of trace elements in different organs of fish. The accumulation of Cu, Zn, and Ni in the flesh, liver, gonads and bones of fish were negatively correlated with length of the fish.
