Abstract
Nowadays water pollution is the burning issue all over the
world. Aquatic ecosystems are frequently contaminated with
different toxicants through anthropogenic activities, and some
of them such as metals may be naturally present and essential in
low concentration but toxic and harmful in higher concentrations.
Having in mind that not all chemical forms of pollutants are
equally bioavailable, and some pollutants can be accumulated in
living organisms to a greater extent than others, there is a need to
study the levels of pollutants in the organisms to be able to predict
the environmental risk.
