The Salay fertilizer Industry, Chauk Township, Magway Region, Myanmar was chosen as the study site. The study period lasted from July 2013 to February 2014. The concentration of metals in the fish muscles and water samples collected was analyzed by by Flame Atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). With regard to non-essential metal, the metal concentration in the river water and effluent was found in the order As> Ca > Fe > Cd and Pb was not detected. The concentration of Ca and Fe was higher in the river water than that in the effluent. In contrast, the concentration of As and Cd was higher in the effluent than in the river water. Cd and As in both river water and the effluent were higher than the permissible limits set down by FAO/WHO (1983) guidelines. With respect to essential metals, Ca and Fe in the river water was higher than the permissible limit while that in the effluent was lower than the permissible limit of FAO/WHO (1983). In the muscles of the fishes studied, Ca was the highest accumulated metal and Pb was the lowest metal and Cd not detected and the order of metal accumulation was Ca > Fe> Pb. Ca and Fe in muscles of the fishes studied were lower than the permissible limits of FAO/WHO guidelines and Pb was higher than the FAO/WHO guidelines, Cd was not detected except the Mystus cavasius (drifted dead fish).
