Heavy metals are dangerous to aquatic organisms and it can be bioaccumulated in the food chain leading to diseases in humans. Cumulative effects of metals or chronic poisoning may occur as a result of long term expore even to low concentrations. The accumulation of heavy metals conditions depending upon the species, environmental conditions and inhibitory processes. Considering the human health risk due to the consumption of fish, the concentration of heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Mn, Cu, Cr and Hg) are investigated in fish samples collected from the Machilipatnam coast. The fish was examined for metal constituents are the basis on the human nutrition in the study area. These metal concentrations were exceeding the limits set by the world health organization (WHO). The study provides an insight into the potential impact of increased levels of metals in the environmental as well as estimated of the contaminated of fish tissues with metals.
