Most of the heavy metal are constituents of the aquatic environment some of them are biologically essential. But some metals like Hg, Cd, Zn etc. are highly hazardous to aquatic biota and normally occur in low concentration. A few investigators studied the toxic effects of mercury and other heavy metals to aquatic animals, particularly fishes to assess the pollution hazards due to metals. Amongst pollutants, non-essential metals are major cause of concern for aquatic environment because of their toxicity, persistency, tendency to accumulate in organism and in undergoing food chain amplification (Kneip and Louer, 1973 and Vinikour et al., 1980).
