Fish and fish meat are the final chain of aquatic food web and an important food source for human, while the water pollution is the burning issue all over the world. Aquatic ecosystems are frequently contaminated with different toxicants through anthropogenic activities, and some of them such as metals may be naturally present and essential in low concentration but toxic and harmful in higher concentrations. Not all chemical forms of pollutants are equally bioavailable and some pollutants can be accumulated in living organisms to a greater extent than others, there is a need to study the levels of pollutants in the organisms to be able to predict the environmental risk. Aim of this review paper is to present the influence of persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals and fish as one of the very important bio- indicator and biological marker for environmental pollution, as well as damage effects of these toxic materials to fish organs.
