Abstract

Freshwater bodies at several parts of the globe are presently undergoing progressive acidification due to acid precipitation and acid mine drainage. Significant changes under altered pH stress includes reduced primary production of algal biomass, benthic communities and rapid decline in fish populations. Studies dealing with the physiological responses of fish to acidic and alkaline water pollution are very limited. Hence, the studies dealing with the biological impact of acidity and alkalinity on the physiology and biochemistry of freshwater fish has been undertaken.
