Popis: Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic element widely distributed in the aquatic environment and producing a wide variety of harmful effects. In this study, the acute toxicity (96 h LC50) of Cd to rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss embryos and larvae was determined. The obtained results showed that hatched larvae were the most sensitive to Cd exposure. After 4 days of exposure, embryos were found to have accumulated greater concentrations of Cd than larvae. Exposure to Cd at sublethal concentrations produced deleterious, exposure duration-related effects on biological parameters (mortality, heart rate and gill ventilation frequency) of larvae. Cd induced a significant elevation of all the studied geno- and cytotoxicity endpoints in larval erythroblasts.
