A major portion of these toxic metals accumulates in the body of aquatic organisms, hence these organisms are often considered as potential indicators of aquatic metal pollution. These metals are harmful to animal itself and alsoto consumers in the food chain after a permissible concentration. Fishes of being end consumers in the aquatic food chain are used as the indicators of heavy metal enrichment. Much attention has been paid to biomonitoring of these trace metals after minimata diseases caused by mercury and cadmium contamination in the aquatic environment. Studies on the heavy metal contents in fishes of various localities have been reported. The riverine fishes of the district Raebareli despite the fact that the both rivers Ganga and SaiRiver highly sensitive for metals pollution and contribute more than half in total fish production of this district.<#LINE#>Nagaraju B., Sudhakar P., Anitha A., Haribabu G., and Rathnamma V.V.@Toxicity Evaluation and Behavioral Studies of Fresh Water Fish Labeorohita Exposed to Rimon.@Int.

Available forest department records on elephant death from 2007-2012 were also incorporated during analysis. The present investigation revealed that 33 elephants were electrocuted; 5were shot dead by gun and 1 killed by road accident. Elephants were killed near farmlands by farmers in defense of their crops. Among dead elephants males were 35.89 % and females were 64.09 %, their age class ranges from 1 to 38 years. Adults (16-65 years) and sub adults (6-15 years) of males and females were killed very frequently. Incidents took place normally in rainy (50 %) and winter (42 %) seasons as crop maturity correlates those seasons. Crop maturity and elephant kill found to be positively correlated in the park. Incidents were not uniformly distributed in all wildlife divisions within the park, ten incidents were reported from Omkar range, which is followed by Gundre region with eight elephant deaths, due to loss of home ranges in the past for agricultural activities. Forest department has to initiate steps to avoid reoccurrence of such incidents in the future.<#LINE#>Santipillai C., Wijeyamohan S., Bandara G., Athurupana R., Dissanayake N. and Read B.@An assessment of thehuman-elephant conflict in Sri Lanka@Cey.
