      abstract = {The physico-chemical parameters of the water and the toxicity levels of metals in the skin and liver of some commercially important fish from Forcados River, Okwagbe waterside were evaluated to determine their suitability for consumption and assess toxicity levels. The study was conducted bi-monthly in July and August 2022, monitoring a total of eight physico-chemical parameters (temperature, pH, turbidity, biological oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate, and potassium) and four toxic metals (cadmium, chromium, lead, and nickel). The results indicated no significant differences (P>0.05) in physico-chemical parameters across the months, except for dissolved oxygen and phosphate. The order of toxic metal concentrations in the skin was Pb > Ni > Cd > Cr, while in the liver it followed Pb > Ni > Cd > Cr. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences (P>0.05) in metal concentrations between the liver and skin, except for chromium, which was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the liver than in the skin. The study concluded that most of the assessed physico-chemical parameters were within WHO permissible limits, and the toxic metal concentrations in the liver and skin of the fish were negligible.},
