  <abstract>This study investigates the heavy metal and organic contaminants at Jerantut River and  its impact on cage-cultured fish and the quality of fish feed used in aquaculture systems.  The analysis revealed that concentrations of Al, Mn, Pb, Ni, and As in the river exceeded  WHO and USEPA limits, indicating significant pollution. These metals pose severe risks  to fish, including organ damage, reduced hemoglobin levels, and mortality. Organic  contaminant analysis detected siloxanes (D5, D6, D7, D8, and D9), with D5 posing a low  toxicity. The detected siloxane has the potential to bioaccumulate inside the cultured fish  at Jerantut river due to the compound's lipophilic properties. Most of the contaminant have a high concentration near the perimeter of the fish cage instead of the fish cage  experiencing significant death. Bioaccumulation of heavy metal and siloxanes inside the  tissue of the cultured fish might be attributed to the low concentration of these substances in that location. The quality assessment of fish feed indicated high nutritional and  physical quality. The moisture content, water stability, and floatation of fish feed ranged  from 9.59 to 12.16 %, 82.86 to 85.92 %, and 100% with the mean of 10.17 ± 0.87 % and  84.82 ± 0.86%, respectively. Total viable count analysis showed minimal microbial  contamination, confirming the feed's safety. This study highlights the interplay between  environmental contamination, fish health, and aquaculture practices, providing essential  insights for sustainable aquaculture management.</abstract>
