Abstract	This research article investigates the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in freshwater fish species from Tekrial Lake, Kamareddy, Thimmakpally Lake, Kamareddy, and Sriram Sagar Project, Nizamabad. The study focuses on Labeo rohita, Catla catla, and Channa punctata as model species to assess the effects of heavy metals, namely zinc(Zn), lead(Pb), ferrous(Fe), and manganese(Mg) on their vital organs including liver, gills, and muscles. Several experiments were conducted to evaluate the levels of heavy metal accumulation in fish tissues using advanced analytical techniques (Atomic Absorption Spectrometer(AAS),Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry). The results indicate a concerning presence of these heavy metals in the examined fish species, suggesting a potential threat to the aquatic ecosystem and human health through fish consumption. Furthermore, this study proposes effective methods to alleviate heavy metal contamination in freshwater fish. The recommended approaches include ion exchange, adsorption, reverse osmosis, and solvent extraction methods. These techniques show promising potential in removing heavy metals from fish tissues and restoring the ecological balance of freshwater ecosystems. Overall, this research sheds light on the alarming bioaccumulation of heavy metals in freshwater fish and emphasizes the detrimental effects on organ function. The proposed remediation strategies provide practical solutions for the mitigation of heavy metal pollution, ensuring sustainable aquatic environments and safeguarding human well-being.
