Abstract:
Experiments had been conducted on seabass (Lates calcarifer) to determine the
bioaccumulation and toxicity of cadmium and copper singly and in combination. Toxicity
tests were conducted with 2 different salinities, 5ppt and 15ppt. Approximately 10 times
more acute toxic effect were observed in the toxicity test at lower salinity of 5ppt
exposure. At 5ppt salinity, the 96-h LC50 values of cadmium and copper to seabass
(Lates calcarifer) singly was found to be 1.56 mg L- 1 and 2.43 mg L-1.
