In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate heavy metals such as Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in the fish pond sediments at Bhadra fish seed farm, Karnataka from six ponds at monthly intervals for a period of six months from March to August 2007. The results of the analysis showed that heavy metals in the fish pond sediments are well within the Geo accumulation index standards except copper which is uncontaminated to moderate as per Geo accumulation index values. : {"references": ["1.\tAPHA. 1995.
