Accumulation of heavy metals in living organisms provides a handy
reference for elaborating the nature and extent of chemical
pollution in water bodies. Kabul River, the major source of
drinking and irrigation water for millions of people in Afghanistan
and Pakistan,is contaminated with heavy metals from variety of
sources, which need to be checked, for safeguarding fish habitat
and securing consumers health. A research study of Hazara
University is presented here shows the load of heavy metals
accumulation in body parts of common fishes. The fishes analysed
for this purpose included Wallago attu, Aorichthys seenghala,
Cyprinus carpio, Labeo dyocheilus and Ompok bimaculatous,caught
from the Peshawar Valley section of Kabul River.It was observed
that the bioaccumulation of Zn, Cr and Pb was very high in fishs as
compared Cd and Pb. Furthermore the concentration of Zn, Ni, Cr, Cd
and Pb in fish samples, were exceeding the RDA limits. It can be
concluded that continuous use of these fishes may cause health
problems of different kinds to fish consumers. The issue needs
proper attention at national and local levels.
