Analytical study on physical and chemical aspects of water at sahipul of Gomti River
Author(s): Sangam Kumar and Shailendra Kumar Singh
Abstract: The Gomti River, a crucial tributary of the Ganga, sustains rich biodiversity but faces severe contamination from agricultural pesticides and industrial effluents. This study evaluates the ecological impact of in secticides and fungicides on its freshwater fish ecosystem. The Pesticide Toxicity Index (PTI), heavy metal analysis, plankton surveys, and toxicity tests were applied to assess organophosphate pesticides and neonicotinoids, with special focus on Trichogaster fasciata (banded gourami). Results reveal high pesticide residues in water, sediments, algae, and fish tissues, leading to reduced plankton diversity, histopathological changes in fish reproductive organs, and significant alterations in aquatic ecosystem structure.
