About the Researcher
Srivastava, Anil Kumar is a dedicated researcher in aquatic toxicology with a strong focus on pollutant–organism interactions. His 1995 work applies rigorous experimental methods to quantify the physiological and ecological effects of metallic contaminants on freshwater species.
Throughout his academic career he has emphasized reproducible lab protocols and clear, data-driven interpretation of results. His findings have informed subsequent regional studies on water quality and fish health. This thesis demonstrates his early contribution to environmental monitoring and aquatic conservation.

This thesis investigates the impacts of selected metallic pollutants on freshwater fishes, combining controlled exposure trials with physiological and behavioural assessments. The research measures acute and chronic responses—such as mortality rates, gill and liver histopathology, bioaccumulation patterns, and alterations in feeding and swimming behavior—providing a comprehensive picture of contaminant stress at organism and tissue levels.
Methodologically, the study uses standard bioassays of the era alongside quantitative chemical analysis to correlate pollutant concentrations with observed biological effects. Results highlight species-specific sensitivity, indicating that even low-level exposures can produce sublethal effects that compromise fish health and ecosystem services.
The thesis situates its findings within broader concerns about industrial effluents, agricultural runoff, and mining-related discharges affecting inland water bodies. By documenting physiological endpoints and tissue accumulation, the research offers practical biomarkers for monitoring and early-warning systems in freshwater environments.
