Abstract

River aami is the major river covering a long stretch of the part underlying eastern part of Uttar Pradesh. The river not only sustains the aquatic floral and faunal biodiversity but also it is supporting system of the people inhabiting especially Khalilabad, Sant Kabir nagar, district uttar pradesh. This is a main river of city Gorakhpur supporting the life of people who are actively engaged in agricultural practices and fish culture at commercial level and aloso to small scale business of fish culture. The river receives industrial effluents at several locations. Some of them are Rayana Paper Board industries limited, Khalilabad and GIDA in Sahjanva which is chain of several industries namely textile, steel plants, india glycol limited (IGL) etc. The group of industries in GIDA provide a great increment in industrial development, Indian GDP growth and economic increase. But, in past few years it has been realized that this river is irreversibly polluted to a very great extent. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and observe the qualitative aspect of water under the light of its altered physical and chemical parameters as well as variations in hematological profile of fish Cyprinus carpio inhabiting the river water.

Keywords: Toxic, xenobiotics, hematological, physico-chemical, alterations.
