Abstract
Molly fish can survive in diversified habitat like fresh water, brackish water and saline water of different temperature, hardness and acidity. So in this present study Molly fish was taken as experimental fish. In this present study waste water from Oriplast limited, Balasore, Odisha were collected. The water samples were subjected to treated with Molly fish. Different physico-chemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total soluble solid, total dissolved solid and total solid and different elemental concentration of both untreated water and treated water were analyzed. From this experiment, it was observed that the level of pH, Fe, Eu and Er was found to be decreased and electrical conductivity, total suspended solid, total dissolved solid, total solid, Si, P, Cl, Ca, Co, concentration were found to be increased with the application of Molly Fish. But all the parameters were found within the permissible limit. Elemental analysis of control Molly fish and treated Molly fish were analysed and it was found that the concentration of Si, S, K2O, Ti, Mn, Fe, Cu, Rb, Zr and Er were increased and P, Cl, Ca, Co, Zn, Br, Sr, Ce, were decreased. It was also observed that no harmful impact were fall on Molly fish by this waste water, so it can be suggested that Molly fish can be cultured in Oriplast waste water. As Molly fish neutralizes the waste water, so it can be used for the detoxification of water.
