The haematological response to ambient (10µg
Cd l−1
) or dietary (10µg Cd fish−1 day−1
) cadmium for 2 and
14days was investigated in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus)
acclimatised to low-calcium (0.2mM Ca2+) and high-calcium
water (0.8mMCa2+). Significant reduction of erythrocytes
(red blood cells), haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume
(PCV), mean cell haemoglobin (MCH) and mean cell volume
(MCV) occurred in fish exposed to ambient cadmium in lowcalcium
water. The anaemic response of significantly reduced
Hb, PCV, MCH and MCV was also evident in fish exposed
to dietary cadmium in low-calcium water. Except for
increased mean cell volume of erythrocytes, both ambient
and dietary cadmium had no effect on haematological indices
in fish from high-calcium water. This study indicates that
high-calcium water has a protective effect on cadmium
toxicity. |
