Abstract: Heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni) concentration in water sediments and fish was analysed from Son river in the month of June 2023. There was an appreciable increase in metal concentrations in going from the water to the sediment samples. The Heavy metal concentration, in water was in the order Pb > Cr > Cd > Ni, in sediments Pb > Cr > Cd > Ni. Five fish species [
Catla,
Common carp,
Tilapia (
Oreochromis niloticus),
Mrigal Nandus nandus] were collected from this river and analyzed for Heavy metal content of muscle, liver, gills and kidney tissues. The maximum concentration of heavy metals was found in Kidney and liver, the order of heavy metal level in various argons is Muscle >Gills >liver > kidney. The Order of heavy metal concentration in Muscle Pb >Cd>Ni>Cr, in Gills Pb =Cd>Ni>Cr, in kidney Pb >Cd>Ni>Cr and in liver Pb >Cd>Ni>Cr. It is really worrying that there are too much Pb and Cd in the water, and it could make people sick if they eat fish from the river.
