Popis: The release of toxic metals in the water creates an adverse condition for the living organisms (e.g., fish). The aim of this research was to learn more about the spatiotemporal variations and toxicity of heavy metals (As, Cr, Cd, and Pb) among fish species that are economically important (Tenualosa ilisha, Gudusia chapra, Otolithoides pama, Setipinna phasa, Mystus vittatus, Glossogobius giuris, Harpadon nehereus, Pseudapocryptes elongatus, Polynemus paradiseus, and Sillaginopsis panijus) collected from Pasur River. Heavy metal (HMs) concentrations were evaluated using the atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) technique. Most of the metals showed no significant variation spatiotemporally (p ˃ 0.05) except As and Cr showed substantial variation in terms of seasons (p ˂ 0.05). All fish species' Cr and Pb concentrations, as well as As and Cd values, were estimated to be greater than FAO/WHO tolerable concentrations, implying that these metals pose danger to humans. HM has a total hazard quotient (THQ) value in individual fish species reported to be greater than 1, whereas an individual metal, arsenic, exceeds the standard value (THQ 1), causing a significant noncarcinogenic issue in the study region. The target hazard (TR) value for As and Pb exceeds the USEPA norm (10
