Cortisol concentration in blood plasma was comparable in both the experimental and control groups. Enzyme activities may be also used as a stress indicator. A significant increase of LDH, CK and AST activities in blood plasma of fish exposed to cadmium compared to the control group of fish were measured. On the contrary, values of ALT and also of ALP were comparable in both the experimental and control groups. Total protein level, an often measured parameter of metal poisoning in fish, does not allow specifying the direction of these changes. Concentration of electrolytes under study (Ca, P) in blood plasma of both the control and experimental groups are compared. In the experimental groups cadmium caused significantly lower concentration of calcium and significantly higher concentration of phosphorus compared to the control group. Cadmium was the highest in kidney of fish exposed to cadmium. Workplace Institute of Vertebrate Biology Contact Hana Slabáková, slabakova@ivb.cz, Tel.: 543 422 524 Year of Publishing 2005
