Overview

Randomized trial measures trace metal levels in ichthyoplankton, suggesting their role as pollution indicators.

Key Points

  • This research aims to quantify trace metal accumulation in fish eggs and larvae from the Cochin Backwaters.
  • Measured concentrations of trace metals using atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
  • Collected fish eggs and larvae during monsoon, post-monsoon, and pre-monsoon seasons.
  • Analyzed differences in metal concentrations between eggs and larvae.
  • Fish larvae accumulated trace metals at levels 1.4–3.3 times higher than eggs.
  • Highest concentrations detected in fish larvae for Fe (529–1595 μg g−1) and Zn (92–275 μg g−1).
  • Findings suggest larvae as effective biomonitors for tracking trace metal pollution.
