| Popis: | The biological response to chemical pollutants reflects the acid–base status of an aquatic ecosystem. The gercacinid, Cardiosoma armatum (75±0.1 g) was exposed to acidified waters to evaluate the effects on its immune parameters. The crabs were exposed to pH 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.8 (control) for 28 days. The hematological parameters of control crabs and crabs exposed to varied doses of acidified water indicated a marked reduction. Significant (p |
