Abstract :

With the rapid pace of development, there has been a rapid growth of pollution of aquatic environment, mostly form anthropogenic sources. Water pollution is now considered to be one of the most dangerous hazards affecting both developing and developed countries. The large scale dumping of hazardous substances in the water bodies have taken its toll of aquatic fauna. The present work is an attempt to review the existing literature on significant works being done on the effects of various anthropogenic activities on fish. In this review, the anthropogenic activities were classified as heavy metal/metalloid, oils and hydrocarbon, pesticides, combination of substances as industrial discharges and municipal or sewage discharges and discussed with emphasis on their effects in fish.
