Heavy metals are one of the most common environmental pollutants and their presence in an aquatic ecosystem has become a major global environmental problems. The pond in Bhagwanpur region is used for polyculture of major carps. Rapid industrialization, sewage discharge, agricultural runoff and dumping of waste materials are challenges that Bhagwanpur fish pond is facing. The present research was aimed to study the seasonal distribution of some heavy metals (Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni) and Zinc (Zn)) in water and sediment samples collected from Bhagwanpur fish pond.

The samples were collected for all four seasons from March, 2012 to February, 2014. After acid digestion, the samples of water and sediment were analyzed for levels of heavy metals using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Data obtained were …
