Heavy metal concentrations in whole body tissue of three fresh water bivalve species, Parreysia cylindrica, Parreysia corrugata and Corbicula striatella was analyzed in sample collected from Girna river at Jamda. The analysis of these animals can give an indication of the status of water environment to which they have been exposed. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the bivalve’s tissues can be used as environmental bio-indicator. The heavy metal concentration (µg/gm) of Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni and Cd was analyzed to study the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in three bivalve species and their use as bioindicator of heavy metal pollution.
