Abstract

The object of this study was to evaluate the acute toxicity of cadmium in different post-embryonic stages of the penaeid shrimp Penaeus japonicus (Bate, 1888) and to determine the effect of sublethal cadmium on the osmoregulatory capacity used as an indicator of physiological condition. Tolerance to cadmium increases with the developmental stage. The least tolerant stages are the nauplii (48 h LC50: 124 μg Cd l-1) and the zoeae (96 h LC50: ≃10 to 30 μg Cd l-1). The most tolerant stages are the postlarvae (96 h LC50: ≃200 to 3500 Cd l-1) and juveniles (96 h LC50: 5500 μg Cd l-1). In juvenile shrimp, 2000 μg Cd l-1 significantly reduce hypo- and hyper-OC. The effect of cadmium on hypo- and hyper-osmoregulatory capacity illustrates a dose- and time-dependent response. Surviving shrimp recover their hypo-osmoregulatory capacity after 6 d of readaptation in cadmium-free seawater.
