Özet

Tinca tinea were exposed to lethal (96-hrs LC50 dose i.e., 6.5 ppm) and sublethal (10 and 25 % of LC50) treatments of cadmium for acute (24, 48 and 96 hours) and chronic (3 weeks) periods, and alterations in haematological parameters were studied. Except higher acute sublethal treatment (25 % of LC50 for 24 hours), all treatments of cadmium caused significant alterations in Hct Hb, RBC count, MCV, MCH and MCHC values of fish. Causes of these alterations and possible mode of action of cadmium have been discussed following the results of the study.
