Abstract
The main causes of degradation of water quality all over the world are pollutants. The
heavy metals, organic molecules, micro organisms, sediments are main water pollutants,
heavy metals are the most important pollutants of aquatic ecosystem. Industrial as well as
environmental sources are the cause of metal contamination of water. By use of the polluted
water and it lead to poisoning of fish, most of these heavy metals may accumulate in the body
of fish. This research work was about the toxic effects of heavy metals and its presence in
aquarium fish. Water was contaminated with different heavy metals e.g. Zn and Cu. The use
of this water by fish affected the growth of Tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona). Effect of heavy
metals (zinc and copper) on Tiger barb had not determined in Multan area. Samples were
collected from different city area of Multan. Each sample of fish (Puntius tetrazona) was
passed through the process of morphometry. Then they were dried and grinded. After
grinding, samples were passed for ash formation. Then ash of each sample was dissolved to
form solution. Then elemental analysis was performed by atomic absorption of
spectrophotometer. Presence of zinc and copper was confirmed and its effects on growth were
determined on Puntius tetrazonaby different statistical techniques. By the determination of
these metals in this fish, could provide a way for new researchers doing work in this field on
aquarium fish and it could help for the management of water pollution.
