摘要
The acute toxicity of cadmium was determined for juveniles of Clarias gariepinus (Teugels) and Oreochromis niloticus (Trewavas) in 96-h static bioassays. Symptoms of toxicosis in both species showed that cadmium causes subacute effects such as loss of equilibrium, copious accumulation of mucus and air gulping. C. gariepinus, LC(50) 10.850 (10.097 - 11.659) mg/l was more susceptible to cadmium than O. niloticus LC(50) 19.319 (18.376 - 20.310) mg/l. Possible reasons for the difference in susceptibility of these two species to cadmium are suggested.
