Biochemical and Physiological Responses in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo Salar) Following Dietary Exposure to Copper and Cadmium

摘要

Three experiments were conducted with Atlantic salmon (Salmosalar) to assess the effects of dietary exposure to copper andcadmium. The results presented here provide an overview, details ofeach experiment will be published in full elsewhere. In the firstexperiment, salmon parr exposed for four weeks to 35 and 700 mg Cukg~-1 diet had significantly elevated intestinal copperconcentrations, cell proliferation (PCNA) and apoptosis ratescompared to control fish.
