| Özet |
| Heavy metal pollution in freshwater ecosystems poses risks to both aquatic life and human health through bioaccumulation in fish. This study evaluates seasonal bioaccumulation of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd) in three fish species (Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Wallago attu), water, and sediment from the Taunsa Reservoir on the Indus River, Pakistan, and assesses associated health risks. A total of 300 fish and 60 water and sediment samples were collected during summer and winter. Heavy metal concentrations were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Results showed that in water Zn had the highest concentrations (2.01–9.74 mg/kg), while Cr and Cd frequently exceeded permissible limits, with peak levels of 0.56 mg/kg (Cr) and 1.50 mg/kg (Cd) in W. attu during summer. PCA revealed that sediment acted as the dominant driver of metal accumulation, reflecting the ecological … |
