摘要：Cadmium, a metal widely used in industrial processes, has been recognized to be a highly toxic anddangerous environmental pollutant. These excess amounts in addition to naturally occurring levels gradually build up totoxic levels causing damages to the biota of the aquatic ecosystem. The fresh water field crab, Paratelphusahydrodromous is an important human food source in parts of South India. Evaluation of the toxic effect of cadmiumchloride on the experimental crab for the LC50 value was carried out. The present study evaluates toxicity of cadmiumchloride and its impact on hematological changes in the fresh water field crab Paratelphusa hydrodromous.
