Cadmium Accumulation in Some Organs of Mosquito Fish Gambusia holbrooki

The cadmium contents in muscle, brain, gills, liver , intestine and testis from exposed control animals were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. experiments planned three series of a total 95 fish employing the static test method acute toxicity. Five fishes placed each concentrations sublethal (5, 15 25mg/l) for two periods (24 96h). performed as 3 replicates, Cd accumulation different organs determined. This showed that effect on G. holbrooki was found to be time dependent fashion. Atomic examination Cd-content both increased significantly 502%, 167%, 168%, 146%,490%,214% muscle ,brain, liver, respectively at short-acute term treatment whereas long- this increasing 44%,82 %,170%,127%,350%,400%
