HEAVY METALS CONTAMINATION IN COMMON CARP FISH CULTURE (Cyprlnus carpio) AT SAGULING RESERVOIR
Abstract
Inland watsr like river and lake are often received domestic and industrial waste poluting the water. a part substances substances recorded in inland water will creat negative effect to living organisms.
